Crayola Fabric Crayons contain a kind of dye, Disperse Dye, which works well when ironed onto all synthetic fibers such as polyester, but washes right out of natural fibers such as cotton.
Just give your children some paper and these transfer crayons, and have them draw and color their own pictures. It's best to color fairly heavily, brushing off any crumbs. The colors will look quite dull on the paper, but don't worry. After an adult irons the pictures onto any synthetic fabric, the colors will be bright and pretty, and the designs will be permanent and machine washable.
For best results, select a white 100% synthetic fabric with a smooth weave, such as polyester satin or nylon taffeta. Any synthetic fiber will do - polyester, triacetate, acrylic, or nylon - but avoid modacrylic and polypropylene because they will shrink under the heat of the iron. Blends which contain at least 50% polyester or nylon will also work, but the colors will not be as bright. Avoid fabric made of 100% cotton, rayon, linen, silk, or wool, unless you are transferring a design that you want to wash out later.
Don't confuse these fabric crayons with ordinary wax-based Crayola crayons for paper! They look so much alike that you may need to be careful to keep the fabric crayons out of the box of regular crayons.

Of course I only read the instructions just before a half-dozen seven-year-olds came over, and then noticed that the instructions recommend polyester fabrics. I had prepared 100% cotton lunch bags to be decorated, so had to switch tactics -- rather than have the girls color on paper and iron it on (which basically didn't work on the cotton), they colored right on the fabric. I threw them in the dryer for half an hour to set the color and they worked our great.

I just ironed a bunch of fabric crayon pictures onto t-shirts for a class project and I am really impressed by the how vivid the colors come out, much more so than what than on the pictures themselves! The result is that you get this cool, bright artistic look to your projects, like you see with company logos and designs, etc, that are made to look like kids' crayon drawings. Very fast and easy to apply, too, it took me about two minutes to do each quarter-page-size picture. Just make sure you don't rub the iron around, you just want to lift the iron up and down to move it. I look forward to coming up with art projects for summer and Sunday school using these for the low cost, great results regardless of artistic ability and quick completion time. Also remember that the transferred image will be a mirror-image of what was drawn.
Another reviewer gave many very helpful suggestions, like about looking for tiny crayon crumbs because, boy, do those show up after ironing!

The fabric crayons have a lot of potential for art instructors as it allows drawings to be transferred easily on to t-shirts and other fabrics such as covers.
