Father's Day is approaching, and whether our kids are going to prepare some detail in school or not, surely they find it especially fun to do something at home guided by mom, grandparents or some other family member who acts as an accomplice to surprise dad.
Making crafts is an activity that excites all children, takes out their creative side and invites them to give free rein to their imagination. But if in addition, the craft has a motive and a recipient, sure they put much more love and effort if possible. We share these proposals that we have seen on the web and that have moved us. Because dad deserves the best!
1) Some shirt cufflinks
Surely Dad will love to wear elegant twins in his favorite shirt, but better than buying them, let's make them ourselves! On the Crème de la Craft website they explain how to do it, and seeing the sure result that you are encouraged to put it into practice.
We are only going to need four decorative buttons, some rubber and scissors. A very simple craft to make with children a little more older since it requires skill with fine motor skills.
2) Diploma for the best father in the world
In Voilà! Creativity are experts in customize bodys, cups, plates or diplomas Like this one that we present to you. Ask your children to describe what they like most about dad, what excites them about him or why they would give the diploma to the best father in the world.
In this small business of entrepreneurs, they will be responsible for capturing the ideas you send in a beautiful color sheet perfect for framing and giving away on such a special day.
3) Kite to fly with dad
And there can be no better plan to celebrate Father's Day than enjoy a morning of field with dad flying a kite Handmade with love and dedication. On the Handmade Charlotte website they explain step by step how we have to do it and the materials that we are going to need. Surely this gift will make you special illusion!
4) Cardholder
In the Wer Memory Keepers blog we have found this fantastic idea of DIY card holder to give dad. On the web they explain how we have to do it and what materials we should buy.
Although a priori it may seem a complex craft, according to its author, this cardholder is very simple to prepare and especially practical for storing cards, notes, coupons ... or whatever dad needs.
5) Photo frame
A photo frame is a classic gift but never goes out of style and that dad will love to look at his desk or at the desk in his office. On the Martha Stewars website they explain in a very simple way how we can do it.
We have to write the word "Dad" on a cardboard, and then cut it out, making the windows in the letters to paste the chosen photographs from behind. With the help of open clips, we will make a support that we will glue on the base so that the frame remains standing. Easy, right?
6) Picture with footprint
This other gift that we have seen on the web Hello Bee has also seemed fantastic, because it is so simple to make we can prepare it even with very young children, because we will only require them to print their little hand on a canvas.
Combine the footprint with a dedication, the name or names of your children and the creation date and Dad will have an unforgettable and forever gift.
7) Blackboard with message
This idea of blackboard with message We have liked the web view of B-Inspired Mama a lot because it allows endless custom combinations and creative decorating ideas.
To begin, ask your child to color four pole sticks (or those used by the pediatrician to look at the throat), and paste them into a square. Cut out a card of the color you choose, personalize it with a message, dedication or drawing and paste it on the back of your frame.
In this case, the frame has been decorated with nuts and bolts because the father works in the construction sector, but you can look for other materials or objects that identify him to give an even more fun air to this original slate.
8) Paperweight
Fun and original idea of paperweight that we propose in the blog La classe della maestro Valentina, whose elaboration will delight the little ones.
Get a few large boulders, and ask your children to color them with acrylic paint of various colors. Let's turn the colored stones into fun cars, so we will need cardboard to make the additional decoration of windows, headlights and wheels. Once cut everything will stick on the stones and let dry. Surely Dad will love to put it on his desk!
9) Greeting card
With this tutorial on Things of Peques we will easily learn to make a origami shirt with cardboard and glue. The elaboration is very simple, and the idea is original and really fun for children.
We can personalize the greeting with a phrase or dedication to dad drawn, for example, in a front pocket of our particular shirt. He sure loves it!
10) Envelopes with surprise
We found this fun idea in the blog Oh Happy Day, which each can adapt to your tastes or particularities. Personally, it occurs to me to prepare with our kids a surprise that we will keep in each of the envelopes. From drawings, dedications or poems, to movie tickets or symbolic vouchers for Dad to reserve an afternoon of games in the bowling alley, a snack in your favorite ice cream shop or anything else you can think of.
The idea is to put in each envelope a surprise, and ask him to open them one by one with the temporality that you want to give. Maybe you want to make 7 envelopes to dedicate a whole week to Dad, or 12 envelopes and that surprises are monthly and last a whole year, or surprises only on weekends ... Blow your imagination! Surely the idea of being surprised from time to time will enchant you.
11) Pack of bottles
And how about surprising dad with this pack of personalized bottles and handmade by the kids? The proposal starts from the Lil Luna blog, where they explain step by step how we can prepare this original gift. As you can see, there is no lack of detail and it allows us to reach such a degree of personalization that it will be impossible for Dad to resist it.
You can fill the bottles with whatever you want, from candies (because he sure likes them too!), To nuts or juices, for example. Both the badges and the labels of the bottle and, of course the box, are personalized with messages and dedications. Isn't it great?
We still have a few days ahead to prepare our craft, so get to work !: which one do you prefer?
