Inspiring Father’s Day gift ideas for creative kids to make
Dreaming up a Father’s Day gift that is different can be a fun challenge.So anyone involved in helping kids secretly make great gifts for Dad should plan far ahead in time for Father’s Day, which in 2011 falls on Sunday, 19th June.
Children (and Dads) appreciate that gifts which take a little creative effort to make are far more special and unique than just buying a ready-made gift .
Luckily, companies like Yellow Moon have some great art and craft ideas which are fun to make and will really be appreciated by grateful Dads.
Making a card is a good starting point for kids who are preparing for Father’s Day. Scratch Art Greeting Card Blanks allow children to scratch their own design on to the black coated surface on the front of the card to reveal vibrant rainbow colours beneath.
The designs could be of anything that Dad loves – his car, a game of golf, the family pet or it could even be a drawing of Dad himself!
Alternatively, kids could have ‘sew’ much fun by completing Father’s Day Colour-in Threading Cards. These pre-printed cards just need to be decorated by colouring in then threading the lacing yarns through the pre-punched holes. If they’re completing the card with the football shirt design make sure that the colour of the thread matches the colour of Dad’s favourite football team!
On the subject of sewing – and football – Mini Football Cushion Sewing Kits are great fun for children to use. Getting to grips with the pre-cut felt shapes, plastic needle and yarn is also a great way for junior sewers to hone their hand-eye co-ordination.
A Design-a-Dad Mug is also a must for any household on 19th June. These large porcelain mugs are blank canvases for artistic children to personalise with messages and drawings. Lifting a mug of warm tea emblazoned with legends such as ‘Best Dad in the world’ will give any Dad a good feeling!
Of course, Dad might want to sup something a little stronger to mark another year of happy parenting. If he does have a lager on the day then you could always buy him an ‘I love Daddy’ Beer Glass to sup from.
It’s also a smart idea for kids to create something special for Dad to wear on the day. A Design-a-Fabric Tie is a fine addition to any Father’s wardrobe. These can be customised with textile paint or fabric pens; silly designs are fun to wear around the house but there’s nothing to stop kids coming up with artistic patterns suitable for office wear!
Away from the office, many Dads love to unwind with a good book. A Design-a-Dad Magnetic Bookmark – Dad-shaped pieces of card which can be personalised and coloured in – will ensure that they don’t lose their place while reading a gripping thriller or exciting biography.
Why not buy a book to go with the great gifts your children have made? If you’re stuck for ideas, take a look at this list of Top Ten Best Selling Books for Men which was compiled in March 2011; it includes some exciting new books by James Patterson, John Grisham and Stephen King.
Have a great Father’s Day!
