Sosoft Fabric Paint

Fabric painting with little kids.... any tips?

For my daughter's birthday there will be about 8 toddlers here finger painting t-shirts. It seems that the paint of choice is Decoart Sosoft Fabric Paint (according to various websites). However, I can only find it in 1 ounce or 1.15 once bottles. Each is about $1.45.

A) Where can I get larger bottles?
B) Do you agree this is the best paint for little kids to finger paint on fabric with?
C) Any tips for painting shirts with toddlers?

How old are the toddlers? While acrylic paint isn't toxic, you might not want to (or be able to supervise) have 8 toddlers with this in their mouths. My suggestion might be to find some fabric crayons (much less messy, too) and let them draw on the fabric which is then heat set. I just did tie dye with my g'daughter and 8 other little girls (all age 6) and an intellectually handicapped 4 yo, it was good that I had the mothers there to help because they all wanted to be first. Unless you have other adults to assist you, you might be better off with a different type of project.
