Our Top 5 Homeschool Shirts for 2014
* This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. *
It’s that time of year – the annual $5.99 sale at Great Products! That means it’s time to stock up on your favorite t-shirts. We did! Now, there are lots of homeschool t-shirt companies out there today, but Great Products has been around since our early homeschool days. I think it was the 2nd year we homeschooled that I got together my first group order for our local support group. It got to the point that, in August, families would start asking if I was going to doing an order for homeschool shirts soon.
Probably our all-time favorite, for obvious reasons, is the warning: unsocialized homeschooler shirt, modeled here by my boy a few years and a lot less facial hair ago.
We still have to get outfitted every year, so I thought you might be interested in seeing the shirts that made the cut this year – and having a chance to enter to win some shirts of your own!
First up, Megan chose the rooted and grounded shirt. She’s already worn it a couple of times since it arrived last Friday and every time she does, I tell her how much I like it on her. It just suits her.
Next, Josh chose the homeschool ninja shirt. He made an excellent choice, too, because, like Megan, he has already worn his a couple of times and I love it on him!
Brianna just had to choose a homeschool graduate shirt (you can choose the year). She hasn’t had a chance to wear hers yet because she’s been working, volunteering at church, and performing in the final weekend of a play. We all really like hers, too. Megan said, “It looks like a real graduation shirt.”
I didn’t point out that it is a real graduation shirt because I knew what she meant and it was intended to be complimentary.
Brian chose the homeschool father shirt. Now, I’ve got to say that I don’t like it as well as the shirt he got last year…but that’s only because it’s really hard to top “I’m in love with my kids teacher.”
Freak that I am, I got the same shirt that I got last year, but in a different color. I tried to pick a brighter, cheerier color since half of my closet is either brown or black. I must not be a bright, cheery person, though, because all year I’ve regretted that I didn’t get last year’s shirt in black – you know, until now.
I got the homeschool substitute shirt because it cracks me up. (You probably noticed that I’m not the only one in my family who is, apparently, not the bright and cheery sort.)
And, just as a bonus, I’ve got to tell you about the cutest new shirts Great Products has got – the color-in t-shirts! I love them! They come as a blank outline with washable markers and kids can color in their own shirts. Such a cute idea. I’ve linked to one, but be sure to look around. There are several different color-in designs. And, here’s another design that I predict is going to be wildly popular:
Now, I suppose you’re wanting to know how you can win. Guess what? We’ve got two ways to win this year! First, we’ll be giving away a family of shirts here on the blog!

Kris Bales is a newly-retired homeschool mom and the quirky, Christ-following, painfully honest founder (and former owner) of Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers. She has a pretty serious addiction to sweet tea and Words with Friends. Kris and her husband of over 30 years are parents to three amazing homeschool grads. They share their home with three dogs, two cats, a ball python, a bearded dragon, and seven birds.
Thanks for the giveaway! My daughter still has one of their t-shirts that she got when she was in 1st grade. Now she is 5th/6th so she would love to win a new one 🙂
Homeschool teacher there is no sub or revolution homeschool
My son would LOVE the ninja shirt. What a fun giveaway! Thanks Kris!
My kids would just love the Mind Craft shirt, but I prefer the Homeschool Mom, What’s your superpower. So cute!
Love these shirts! Ordered the ninja shirt and two others, and I’m ready for some more. The kids were so proud to wear them.
I can’t decide if I’d get the super hero mom tshirt or the homeschool mom just add coffee. They are both awesome so I’d probably just get both!!
My son really wants the “Everything is Awesome” shirt since he loves the Lego movie. My girls like the new Princess shirts.
Love the “there is no substitute” shirt. Cracked me up too!
Loved the no substitute shirt. So funny
There are so many great shirts that we’d love to have. My boys liked the Mind Craft shirts and I like the Homeschool Mom of 3 shirt. Thanks for hosting the giveaway and for giving us a heads up about the sale!
We love these T’s!! Would be awesome to win one for each in our family!!
Homeschooler by day… Tolkien Lover by Night (ok… Argon… ok… Vigo M.)
Homeschooler by day… Lego lover by day and NIGHT
Homeschooler by day… Horse freak by night
Homeschool Mom by day… Smut reader by night (and Oreo in bed eating at night)
I had to go back to the brick and mortar classroom last year. No insurance. Let me tell you, that shirt takes on an entirely new level of meaning after that! My kids couldn’t get sick. We weren’t allowed to get subs for days other than meeting days (RTI, etc.). So sick kids were out. Thank Our Sweet Lord for allowing us to move home again. Lots of repairing and loving to do. For all of us…
Love their t-shirts: Mom-Coffee, Mom-Superpower (words), Mind Craft, Varsity w/Horse
I’ve always loved the ninja ones for my boys. If I won though, I’d let them pick their own. And for me, I think I’d get the “homeschool mom of 5” one.
Their new Mind Craft tshirt!
I love the shirts – though wish that there were more secular options!
This is a favorite company of ours as well. We have many of them! I let my kids pick out theirs every time. I think my 13 year old boy would go with the “All American Homeschooler” one. My 10 year old boy would most likely pick the “Everything is Awesome” Lego design. My 13 year old might go for that one too! Oops – I just spied the “Mine Craft” one – that’s a top contender as well for both of those boys! I’m not sure what my 18 year old son would pick. It might be the “Contaminated Homeschooler” one or the homeschool graduate one. 🙂 So many great designs! I like the “Homeschool Mom of X” one. I’m not sure what I would get my hubby. After all, there is no topping the “I’m In Love with My Kids Teacher” shirt. 😉
I like the “My children are homeschooled and so were…” shirt along with the homeschool grad, rooted, and homeschool girl shirts.
My little one would love the color in t-shirts, Revolution Homeschool, Everything is Awesome, Homeschool Varsity! So many to choose from!
WE have the Ninja one here too! I love these shirts and if I win I would so totally get the Mom-superpower or the I’m in love with my kids principal 🙂
These shirts are so clever. Why have I never seen these before? We would love to have the whole family clad in these! I love the “No Substitute” shirt.
I love the one for the dad about being in love with his kid’s teacher! But there’s so many good ones to choose from. We own several already!
Love the shirts!
Love the substitute teacher one! 🙂
I would love the keep calm and homeschool on shirt. I know my son would go for the Mindcraft one. Homeschool princess would suit my daughter. But I’m not sure what hubby would choose.
My son would love the ninja shirt!
I just stumbled across these the other day! They are great! I wouldn’t mind a bag too! I like the Homeschool Revolution one. My daughter loves them all! My youngest son would go for the lego one.My oldest son would probably go for the minecraft. Husband…I wouldn’t venture to guess…I never get it right! 🙂
These are great!
What a hard decision! Probably Hip Hip Homeschooler or Ninja Boy for our little guy, homeschool princess for our daughter, Rooted & Grounded for the hubby, and just add tea for me.
My kids would love the ninja shirts!
I’d love several of those. So witty!
Love “no substitute” and “revolution”!
I would choose Homeschooler by Day Ninja by Night for my son, Zombies are afraid of Homeschoolers for the daughter, Homeschool Dad for the Dad, and I would pick Homeschool Mom just add Coffee.
I think I’d choose the “Homeschool Mom, What’s Your Superpower?” shirt but I also love the “there is no substitute”.
I know at least 2 of my kids would choose the “Everything is Awesome with homeschool”.
Thanks for the chance!
Oh my goodness I want waayyy too many of the shirts! I like the no substitute shirt, the weird, unsocialized, the keep calm shirt and so many more! My boys would love the ninja shirts and my daughter would like the weird unsocialized shirt or ninja shirt. 🙂
I would get the “I am in love with my kid’s principal” one! I have three boys that are not interested in checking the shirts out right this minute, but I’m sure they’d like the Ninja shirts! LOL For the hubby, the “rooted and grounded” shirt, I think!
These t-shirts are so cute!
So many GREAT t-shirts to choose from! I think I’d get the Homeschool Mom By Day, Ninja By Night.
I’ve been waiting for this sale!
The Mind Craft shirts.
These shirts are so funny! My son really likes the kids ninja by night one!
I’ve seen these shirts a few times and love them! So glad you’re having a give away!
I love these shirts. I would buy my husband one which talked about him loving his kids’ teacher.
I tell myself I’m going to order every year – this is the year I start!
We love: Lego, Mind Craft, I love my HS (unicorn) (which is actually a pegicorn), Ninja Girl, Warning, My Children & I’m In Love.
Thanks for reminding me of the sale & offering the giveaway!
Such an awesome giveaway! I love their shirts.
Would love two of the “color your own” t-shirts for my Littles. What a fun way to not only sport your homeschool pride, but to also use it as an art project! Fun! I love the Rooted and Grounded shirt and my honey would look great in the homeschool revolution shirt! Thank you for the opportunity! 🙂
I would love a shirt just like yours! My girls would like the Lego shirts!
I have Super Power and Rooted and Grounded, so I’d probably go with No Substitute or Oh no, forgot to socialize. For Dad, in Love with Teacher, probably. 🙂
For the boys (they have Weird and Lego), probably ninjas or zombies, or maybe Lego in a different color.
My son would love that ninja one or the LEGO one =)
Love the Great Products homeschool t-shirts! The minecraft would be a big hit in our house 🙂
I would love to get all four of my boys the ninja shirt in different colors. How fun!
Everything is awesome with homeschool!
I loved the unsocialized homeschooler shirts!
We love the shirts we bought last year, and I plan to order some this year to put away for Christmas gifts. My boys already have the ninja ones and love them. I want to get them the Mind Craft, my daughter wants “Kickin It with Homeschool” and I haven’t decided on my husband’s and mine yet.
Great giveaway! My kids have been asking for homeschool shirts and these are perfect!
Hi friends! Hopping over to celebrate your great giveaway and check out the cool t-shirt slogans, too! You got me at “substitute”! Love these! Thanks for the fun!

There are so many that I love, ninja, zombies and the coffee one are my faves at this moment!
We like the; Homeschool Girl, Birdcage, Rooted and Grounded, Homeschool Father, HS Mom Retro, Lego, and Awesome Homeschooler T-Shirts.
Definitely the Mind Craft! We have the Ninja shirt and it still makes me laugh!
It is all about minecraft in my house…my kids would love those ones
We would definitely have to go with the Minecraft home school shirt!
I’d get the homeschool student ninja shirt for my 7yo boy…I know he’d love it!
There are so many great shirts, I don’t know which ones I would choose! I do like the “I’m in love with my kid’s teacher” for my husband.
Great giveaway! I love the ninja shirt!
We love our t shirts! Wearing my homeschool mom of 4 shirt right now!
Yay! Are you on Instagram? If so, take a photo for the Instagram contest! 🙂
I would like the ninja ones for my two boys in different colors. For my husband, a crush on my kid’s teacher. For me, homeschool revolution or the substitute teacher one. Awesome shirts!!
My kids like the ‘warning’ tshirts, I would have to go with the ‘homeschool mom, just add tea’ shirt myself.
The ” oh no I forgot to socalize” one made me laugh out loud. For my son the ninja one for sure. My eldest daughter and my husband there are several just not sure which they would pick.
My kiddos have the Homeschool Ninja shirts. I have “Keep Calm and Homeschool On” and “Homeschool Mom: Just Add Coffee”. I would probably get the “I’m in Love with my Kids’ Principal” shirt and just let my kiddos choose their next ones. I have a feeling my 10 year old son would want the Lego “Awesome” shirt.
For my daughter, I’d like the “I love my HS” with the unicorn on it — she LOVES unicorns!!
For me, I’d like the “Homeschool Mom, What’s Your Superpower?” one 🙂
These are on my wish list:
I’m in love with the principle
I’m in love with the teacher
I’m homeschooled and so were…
This is what an awesome homeschooler looks like
bus driver
future homeschooler monkey
I love the one I have a crush on my kids principal. My oldest boy loves Minecraft, middle boy would love the Ninja one and then my baby girl would love the princess one. These are so cute!!!
I have been dreaming of shirts like these!!
These are so cool!!!
The shirts I would ask for are:
Mom = No Substitute – T-Shirt Military Green
Dad = Dad – HS Are You One – T-Shirt Dark Gray
Child 1 = (New) HS Princess – T-Shirt Purple
Child 2 = (New) Mind Craft – T-Shirt Royal
Child 3 = (New) Mind Craft – T-Shirt Military Green
Child 4 = (New) Mind Craft – T-Shirt Neon Pink
Child 5 = (New) Mind Craft – T-Shirt Purple
Wow. There are so many neat options, especially in the regular t-shirt designs. I like the “no substitute” or the “I Promise” mom t-shirt for me, and the “I am homeschool and so were…” for my kids, and the “HS Are You One” for my hubs. Even if I don’t win the giveaway these would make great Christmas gifts. Love ’em!
I would buy the ninja ones. Very cute!
I like them all! My kiddos like the ninja shirt and my hubby would totally wear the “in love with my child’s teacher” shirt. 🙂
We have the “Ninja by Night” shirt for our oldest. I would love to get my youngest a Minecraft shirt and a ninja shirt for our middle. They are so cute!
I would love to get the same shirt you picked, actually. It cracked me up.
“Oh no, I forget to socialize the children” made me laugh out loud.
Definitely zombies, homeschool mom add tea, and the unsocialized ones.
I just ordered some shirts the other day. The kids and I are looking forward to wearing them.
Love your shirt, especially the Ninja ones 🙂
I like No Substitute, too. My kids would like the Everything Is Awesome shirt. 🙂
