Handmade Gifts for Dad
by Jennifer Dolan

Description: Handmade gift ideas for Father's Day.

Father's Day is only a few days away. Here are a few inexpensive and heartfelt gift ideas for Dad:

Framed Artwork

Have your child draw or paint a picture and have it framed for Dad to take to the office.

Gift Certificates

Have your child present Dad with gift certificates for chores such as washing the car or cleaning the garage.

Dad's Story

Have your child write a story about Dad's life or a favorite day spent together. Bind the pages into a book with ribbon or yarn. Your child can draw a cover or make one using the computer. For an extra special touch, your child can incorporate pictures or photos throughout.

Hand Prints

Take your child's handprints using plaster of paris or a kit from the craft store. This is an especially nice gift idea if your child is an infant or toddler, but it works well for all ages.
