Father’s Day Ideas
I am blessed to have a Father who lets me know he loves me. I am blessed to be married to a man who lets me and our children know we are the most important people in the world to him.
With Father’s Day approaching I thought I would offer some suggestions to honor the father’s in your life.
A couple of years ago, the kids and I made a “Dad” T-shirt for Dan. We bought a t-shirt, and made handprints with fabric paint on one side. On the other side, in the same position as each handprint, I wrote the name of the child who made the handprint on the opposite side. On the pocket of the t-shirt, I wrote “Dad”. That t-shirt is still his favorite.
Another thing we have done, is make out of black and gold construction paper, a pot of Gold.
We cut out the black piece in the shape of a pot, and then the gold, just a little smaller. We then glued them together, but left the top open. The kids then wrote little notes such as “one back rub”, “a walk with just me”, “I will make you a banana shake”, and other things they like to do together. The notes were put inside the pot of gold.
There are a lot of fun and creative ideas for honoring dad. Here are a couple of links to sites to help with finding just the right thing for the dad in your life, or your child’s life.
