Whoo! June is off to a sunny start, isn’t it?
Father’s Day is right around the corner and since we had so much fun sharing fun Mother’s Day activities, it is only natural that we’d want to talk about fun ideas for Father’s Day.
Here are some simple and sweet ways to make Dad feel really special and loved:
1. Make a Cool Card for Dad
Well, the easiest and also, the sweetest thing that kids can do is make a special card for Dad. Set your toddler up with some paint and cardstock and let him make a handprint card and then, initial his name inside, after you write a special message.
If painting is not your toddler’s cuppa milk, let him stick on a photo of Dad and him on the front of the card; or paste bits of paper in the shape of a football, baseball or whatever is Dad’s favorite sport.
2. Dad and Me Day
This is another super-simple way to make Father’s Day special. Let father and kids hang out together the whole day while you hang back from checking, complaining or nagging. Let them do what they’d love to do together. Whether it is watching a movie or playing in the pool or heading out to the mall for some toy shopping and ice cream eating, let the kids have a whole day with Dad doing just what both of them like.
3. Create a Father’s Day All Year Round Calendar
You know how Dad carries a photo of the kids in his wallet and whips it out all the time, well, take it a step further and along with the kids, choose some photos of them and Dad, and compile it into a photo calendar for his office or desk. If you need a cool deal as well, check out Lifephoto who’re offering a FREE photo calendar to everyone on their FB page!
4. Make a Father’s Day Meal
They say, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. This Father’s Day, let the kids make Dad feel special by cooking him a special meal, with your supervision, of course. It can be something as simple as sandwiches and smoothies or homemade cookies and milk, but let it be a meal in which the little ones are involved, all the way through.
How will you be making Father’s Day special for the most special man in your kids’ life?
