Instead of buying an over-priced greeting card let the kids give Dad a homemade valuable card.
Take a piece of paper fold in half crosswise and if you or the kids want a smaller card then fold once again. Give the kids crayons, markers, glitter, glue sticks and/or stickers. Don't forget to make sure they sign or you help them sign it. Great ideas for kids that need direction is draw a picture of them and daddy doing there favorite activity. We actually got the one in the picture while shopping at Old Navy last week. You can also print out cards to have the kids color from these sites:
For the tech savvy kids and Dads don't forget free e-cards.
Let Dad be KING for a day. You'll need to borrow your husbands hat for this one. You will also need cardboard or poster board, paint or foil, tape measure, scissors and decoration supplies (glitter, letters, markers). Measure Dad's hat for width of crown but add an inch. If you don't have a tape measure just wrap the board around the hat, lightly mark where it comes together and estimate about an inch.
Cut cardboard to length with extra inch added. Cut the cardboard into a crown design. Now either foil the crown or paint. If you paint then wait for it to dry but if you foil be very careful when you decorate so you don't tear the foil off.
When done wrap around to glue together or staple together. Make sure to put KING on the crown because we wouldn't want Dad thinking he's the princess! Once done decorating you can crown Dad.
We didn't make gifts this year for Daddy because he's a Mavs fan. So he got Mavs stuff during the finals.
Happy Father's Day!
