Satisfy Dad’s Appetite!
Boost His Ego!
Dads usually like to eat. Let your child personalize Father’s Day with some of Dad’s favorite foods. For every meal and snack all day, plan to have at least one of Dad’s favorites on the menu. Your children will be eager to see the expression on his face when he realizes the treats that are in store for him. To make it even more personalized, have your child help prepare the food, and even add some creative touches to it just for Dad. One clever idea is to present him with a personalized candy bar. Use your child’s artwork to create a custom wrapper for Dad’s favorite candy. Cut a piece of construction paper to cover the main part of the candy wrapper. Have your child color and draw on the paper and secure it around the candy with some clear tape. Tie a ribbon or a handmade gift tag with his name on it and it is ready to be delivered for dessert!
Make a “Dad Rocks” paper weight for Father’s Day. Find a nice sized rock, and choose what color of paint to use. Have your child paint the rock one color, then write “Dad Rocks!” or any saying you wish, with a permanent marker or a thin paint brush. If the rock is big enough, have them add googly eyes and mouths and noses, or some other designs to embellish it a little further. So simple, yet so cute! Another way to show Dad he is awesome is to make him a special BBQ apron. Trace shapes of burgers, hot dogs, ketchup and mustard bottles, and other grilling tools onto felt squares. Cut out these shapes and glue them to a plain apron using craft glue. Also add a title to the apron, such as “King of the Grill”, which will make him very proud to wear it as he grills dinner for the family. Your kids will love that they made that apron for him for many grill-outs to come.
