Handmade Father’s Day Gifts from Kids

Shared by Mary Catherine Leave a comment

We’re out of school by the time Father’s Day rolls around. Despite that, I love making gifts with my preschoolers for the dads (or father figures) in their lives. We always have a blast making gifts for moms, and I never want the dads to be left out. Here are some awesome HANDmade Father’s Day gifts the kids can help make.

handmade Father’s Day gifts kids can make

Sometimes it can be a little tricky to come up with gifts for the amazing preschool parents. However, I just don’t think you can go wrong with hand print art. My son’s in elementary school now, but I still have his hand print gifts from preschool. I’m sure when he’s a teenager, he’ll be embarrassed about the framed hand print caterpillar I have hanging up in the hallway, but oh well!

Customizable Items

As a parent and a teacher, I think the most beloved gifts are ones that our child made themselves. And sometimes, “making” things means that the children simply customize an everyday item. Check out the list below for some everyday items that can be customized by the children into an amazing gift and keepsake for all the dads out there.
