Homemade Father’s Day gift ideas range from crafty to articstic to computer-based. That's good news for parents who may have one kid who is very creative while another child is more computer-savvy. Kids of all ages and aptitudes can find the right homemade Father's Day gift to make for Dad.
Here are a few ideas for homemade gifts for Dad:
Slideshow: This is a wonderful project for older kids who are comfortable using the computer for photo sharing. To start, create a Shared Album on Memento to gather family photos from vacations and holidays. After all the photos are uploaded, a slideshow is created automatically! All you need to do is pick the background music and add captions to photos. Play the slideshow on Father's Day to surprise Dad and make him smile!
Homemade Card: Homemade cards are simple and traditional Father’s Day homemade gifts. Card making is a perfect project for a variety of age groups. Plus, Dad will cherish the thought and meaning behind the card. Visit your local arts and crafts store to purchase card-making supplies such as pieces of cardstock, feathers, glitter, stickers, shapes made of foam, gems and glue. Use your discretion with small pieces, as they can become a choking hazard for young children.
Video Father's Day Card: Let your kids create a short video to share their Father's Day wishes, perform a funny skit, or sing a favorite song for Dad. Upload the video into a Father's Day eCard that can be personalized with a photo and written message. Kids can browse Father's Day cards that feature their favorite characters like the Mandalorian, Superman, Snoopy, and more.
Hand or Foot Prints: Hand or foot prints are a sweet homemade gift idea for Dad that you can do with infants and toddlers.To make hand or foot prints, visit your local arts and crafts store, and purchase four blank, white canvas boards that are each around 6X6 in size and non-toxic paint. To start, paint the canvas boards so that a background color is in place. Once the background is dry, dip the kids’ feet and/or hands in different color paint, and make prints on the canvas. Present the artwork to Dad on Father’s Day and suggest that he hang them on the wall so that the four small square canvases equal one larger square picture!
Photo Book: A homemade book is a thoughtful way for kids to express their appreciation for Dad! To make a homemade book, stack multiple pieces of cardstock, punch three holes in the side, and tie yarn or ribbon through the holes. Glue family photos to the pages and let the kids draw around them and write notes to Dad. Present the book to Dad on Father’s Day and show him how much he is loved by the kids!
