7 Creative Ways to Show Dad You Care

  I love the relationship Kay has with her dad - and with my dad, too, for that matter. She's lucky in that regard. The great thing about Father's Day is that it's the perfect time to celebrate any special male in your child's life - uncle, grandpa, brother or dad. Maybe even just a family friend. Whoever that special "he" is, he'll enjoy being on the receiving end of these gifts - and kids will enjoy the giving too!

  ~ Make him a frame to put a picture of the ones he loves in. {Reading Confetti}

  ~ Make him a one-of-a-kind t-shirt that he can wear with pride (which isn't likely to happen with that bead necklace...). Sun Scholars has a cute suggestion for one.

  ~ Bake him some cookies (bonus points if he gets them just-out-of-the-oven warm!)

  ~ A homemade paper weight {Crafts by Amanda} or garden stone (maybe with hand-prints?) would make a crafty personalized gift.
