Daddy Snack Packs… Yummy!

Here’s a couple more Father’s Day craft ideas that I thought you might enjoy.

As I was writing this, my youngest informed me that she wants to make the Daddy Snack Packs for Dad this year. I don’t think she remembers making them last year with my son. If she doesn’t change her mind… which she’s done several times now… and we do make one, I’ll post a picture of it.

Anyway… Enjoy!

Daddy Snack Packs - Knowing how much Daddy loves snacks, my then seven year old decided to make him his own special snack mix last year. We started by recycling a coffe can, cleaned it thoroughly, and wrapped it in construction paper. Then we wrote “Daddy’s Snacks” on the side and decorated the can. Inside the can we put a variety of snacks that we knew that Daddy liked… m & m’s, pretzels, peanuts, popcorn, etc. The combination of things that my son chose for the snack mix was a bit strange, but it made a very unique gift that Dad loved!

Dad Rocks Paperweight - This project is so easy that any age could do it… paint a fist sized rock with acrylic paint (any color) and let dry. Paint the phrase “Dad You Rock!” in a contrasting paint color. You could also use foam letters with the adhesive on the back to make the phrase. What Dad couldn’t use another paperweight?

CD Photo Frame (pictured above) - This cute picture frame is made from a recycled CD or DVD… which makes it very economical too! I think we’re going to try to make one of these for Dad this year, only we’ll use the kind of playdough that air dried instead of salt dough for the stand.
