A gift crafted by kids with their own little hands, are the ultimate gifts for their super Dads. Father's Day is to honor Dad as well as all father-like figures. On this day all kids love to show their fathers their admiration and care for them. Designing a craft in their own special way make them feel even more proud.
Show your father that he is special to you and make his day special.
One of the ideas can be making a bookmark for him. Every time he reads a book he will cherish this adorable work of art. You can ask your child to make a small picture of him and his dad. Then write a sweet message and get it laminated.
Handmade Art is another great option. Make painting, using different mediums, of your memories with your father. You may use any type of paints like water, oil, acrylic or even crayons. You can also experiment with different ways of painting like block, spray, hands of sponge paintings. Then frame these cool souvenirs and wrap it beautifully.
Another adorable idea is decorative photo frames. These have huge variety. You may use pastas, buttons, twigs, feathers, dried flowers or even cloth-cuttings.
You can also create a great fun thing for dad that is pencil holder. Make sure that the can is clean and that there are no sharp edges. Then make it into masterpiece in your own style.
Flower pot with a flower is the most lovely idea of all. For his office desk you can paint a glass jar. Then make some artificial flower using soft wire and crepe paper or any other fancy paper. Any cloth like organdy can also be used.
With all the above ideas the most important one is the card. Take the paper and turn it so that the fold is on the right side. Let the child write or draw something in it. Write I love you or make your own poem. Use many art things like sprinkles, shiny stars and stickers. Let the child decide everything here. Let their brain work.
The important thing about making something for dad is making it personal. Dad's present should be unique, something that only that kid could have given to that dad. It should come from the heart of the child for their dear dads. Let them enjoy the process and be proud of themselves and their dads.
