Father's Day Gifts

These fun Father's Day Crafts will give Dad useful and sentimental gifts while creating tons of family fun.

Pottery Perfection

This year, help your kids make Dad a gift he'll use every day. Head to your favorite pottery-making place (we love Clay Cafe Studios!) and have them make Dad a “#1 Dad” coffee mug for his mornings. On Sunday, have them deliver Dad his morning joe in his new present.


Dad's Best Recipe
Ask your children to pick one meal that Dad is great at making. Then, ask your kids to use markers or crayons and draw their favorite Dad Dish on a white piece of paper. Next, ask them how they think Dad makes the food and write their version of the recipe under the drawn picture of Dad's Dish. After that, head to a copy shop (call ahead to see if they do iron-ons) with the paper and have an iron-on transfer made (maybe do it at 50% of the size). Then, iron it on at home to a dishtowel so he can always remember how to make their favorite dish.


Photo Favorites
Every time Dad opens the fridge to grab an ice cold drink this summer, remind him of how much you love him with family photo magnets. Print your fave photo of the family and make it into a magnet! We love this poloroid-like one from Zazzle


Dad Rocks Paperweight
Help your child find a small rock (about the size of the palm of your hand), clean and wash it, and write “Dad Rocks” in colorful paint. Decorate it with glitter glue and spray with acrylic sealer spray after it dries.
