Father’s Day is *Creeping* Up on Us!

With all the Spring gardening, end of school year events, and great weather, I just didn’t realize how close to Father’s Day we are getting until I heard my five year old ask Daddy what he wanted for Father’s Day yesterday… out of the mouths of babes! I’m sure that you’re already way ahead of me and have already planned your Father’s Day crafts, gifts, and activities, but just in case I’ll start working to post some of my ideas this week.

Dad & Me Coffee Mug - This is a really cute idea and would make an inexpensive Father’s Day craft project that Dad will actually use (take a look at the picture above to see it)! It uses enamal paint on a plain mug and then you bake it in the oven according to the paint manufacturer’s directions. I love this idea!

Pencil Holders - This is not a particularly new idea, but worth mentioning for Father’s Day. You can use just about any kind of clean can to create a pencil holder for Dad. Paint popsicle sticks and glue them on, glue paper around the outside and decorate, put stickers on a can, glue macaroni around the outside, you can even glue sticks around the outside for a natural look. It all depends on the level of skill your child has and the amount of time and imagination you want to put into the project.

Father’s Day “Tie” - This is a great card idea and it’s super easy. Cut out a “tie” shape from construction paper or card stock and let the children glue paper scraps or put stickers on it. Write “Happy Father’s Day Love, Student Name.” – Submitted by JuLeeia
