5 Amazing Father’s Day Gifts to Make with Your Kids

Father’s Day is coming up and it is time to help your children make an incredible and thoughtful gift. Every child wishes to give his father something that will make him smile for many years to come and something that he can display on his night table or in his office. Each gift brightens his day and reminds him of how amazing his family is and how much they love him. Also, it is important that the present will be easy-to-make even for young children, involve a fun process, and result in an amazing handmade gift. Here are some ideas that have survived the test of time, so prepare to get inspired.

5 Amazing Father’s Day Gifts to Make with Your Kids

1. Make Dad’s Coupons

Ask your kids to pitch in some ideas for chores that they can do for their father: lawn mowing, preparing breakfast, washing his car, ironing his shirts, and so on. Help your little ones to put these chores on cute colorful cards with a redemption date, nicely wrap them and give him as a present. So after a busy day at work, he can use one of the coupons to enjoy his evening of freedom instead of washing dishes or walking a dog.

2. Help Dad to Be Organized with a Personal Calendar

Another idea is to make your own desk calendar with family photos for Father’s Day. You can also put together a wall calendar to place it over the dining table. Every father has a lot on his plate: business meetings, deadlines, family holidays, and anniversaries he has to remember. Look up the Internet for some photo calendar creator software, add all these important dates to the program along with the best family images from your trips, holidays and other special occasions, and choose a template that your kids prefer. Ask your children to come up with an idea for the calendar: Dad’s hobbies, Dad and his family or Dad and his greatest life accomplishments. Finish it up with some cute clipart that your kids can draw and upload to the program. Finally, print the whole thing out.

3. Grant the Best Dad Award

All you need are a ribbon, a piece of bright paper, and a paper plate. Let your kids write something heartwarming and adorable for their father on this plate. Then help them decorate its edges with colorful folded paper and attach a ribbon underneath to make it look like an award. On the day of the event, play some upbeat music and present him the well-deserved award.

4. Ask Him out on a Dad Date

This is an amazing way to unite your family and create a strong bond. Firstly, brainstorm ideas on how to make a perfect day for your husband: fishing, playing football, watching sports, hiking, etc. Then ask your kids what they would prefer and create an invitation. This will give your family a chance to spend the whole day together doing something you all like and getting to know each other better.

5. Help Him Envision His Goals with a Dream Photo Collage

Sounds pretty boring and overused at first but consider putting together a nice collage with family photos and pictures of your future life like a nice house at the beach, an amazing car he has dreamt of for years, and pictures of the countries you want to visit together. You can turn it into a game: let your kids ask their father about his future plans and big dreams in the form of a quiz and use this information to create a perfect dream collage. Finally, get some bright paint and put handprints of your children on the collage and add some warm words to your work.

Every father has a lot of duties and responsibilities, so make his day unforgettable by making something special together with your children.
