Father’s Day Ideas for
Younger Kids

|
There are a number of Fathers Day Gift ideas for younger kids to become
involved in. Let’s explore some of them.
In a few months, Father’s Day will be here. Your kids are probably trying to come up with unique ideas this year. To help them, here are some Father’s Day ideas for younger kids.
Make a Father’s Day card using construction paper, crayons and draw dad on the front with the words “I Love You Dad!” Mom can also download the many coloring templates kids can use to glue on to construction boards to make larger 8-1/2x11 cards.

| * Kids can take their teddy bears and dress them up with
a hat, tie, and glasses….and place a Happy Father’s Day
sign for the bear to hold.
* Kids can help you make a Father’s Day breakfast for
dad and present it to him either in bed or at the
kitchen table.
* Kids can help mom make gingerbread cookies and using
piping to outline the facial features. It can then be
glued to a piece of cardboard and the kids can decorate
the cardboard with dad’s favorite things!
* The kids can present dad with a card containing a list
of chores they will do for dad for a week.
* They can also make a story book using construction
paper, to tell about their dad and why he is so special!
* Mom can bake dad’s favorite cake and the kids can
decorate it with dad’s favorite sports games, such as
baseballs, footballs, soccer, or basketball.
Kids love to draw, paint and mold. Using some clay, they
can make dad a handprint and sign their names on the
palms. He would certainly love that! In fact, kids also
love to build things, so why not build day a special
kite (with the help of mom, of course), then the entire
family can enjoy this wonderful present.
Special t-shirt painted by the kids; a card made of
construction paper and decorated for dad; a picture
frame made out of two pieces of cardboard and painted by
the kids; or dad’s favorite cookies made by the kids
with a little help from mom. If dad is a golfer, why not
have mom buy a box of golf balls and have the kids paint
their initials on each one. How about taking a small
Xmas tree and turning it into a Father’s Day tree.
Decorate it with his favorite candies and cookies. Or if
dad is a baseball or football fan, the kids can decorate
it by taking white Christmas balls and drawing baseball
stripes on them; and making cookies in the shape of
footballs using gingerbread dough! A baseball cap with
dad’s initial can adorn the top of the tree, or you can
find a mini sized football helmet and add his name to it
as well.
More often than not, dad would probably receive a tie as
a gift. Well, make this particular tie special. Let the
kids be as creative as they want with paints and
sparkles. Does dad lose the remote control often? Why
not make him a TV remote holder using cardboard and
fabric. The kids can decorate the cardboard with glow in
the dark paint color, so that no matter where the holder
is, he can always find it!
No matter what Father’s Day handmade gift ideas you come
up with, there are plenty of ideas you and the kids can
come up with. Don’t forget the handmade ashtray; your
dad can use it as a paperweight, too!
Father’s Day ideas for younger kids can be achieved by
asking them what they would like to make for dad; or
perhaps buy for day. One thing though, he may not want
any more ties! Make a Happy Father’s Day Sign using
construction paper, and hang it in the kitchen or living
room area. Dad will be so happy to see how much effort
his children have put into making his day a special one!
