Make Dad an Apron

Most dads are grill masters. Set Dad up for a summer season at the barbeque by making him a personalized apron.

Steps
  • Using fabric paint make your own iron-on transfer.


    Personalize the apron using iron-on letters or fabric paint pens.


Make Dad a Game Box

Embellish a wooden game box for Dad and fill it with dice, playing cards, a small book of rules for card games, and a fun item like a poker chip key chain.

Steps
  • Purchase a wooden box with a hinged lid and jazz it up with these ideas:

  • Self-adhesive metal letters

  • Wood stain or black enamel spray paint

  • Decoupage image of a vintage gaming label or photo


Make Dad a Mouse Pad

Here's one for the computer savvy. Check with your local photocopy center if you need assistance with this craft.

Steps
  • Have the kids draw or paint a work of art celebrating Dad.


    Scan the images into your computer.


    Purchase make-your-own mouse pad kits on line or check in a local office supply or craft store.


Make Dad a Fun Car Office Kit

Many dads work on-the-go and need a few office supplies to be easily accessible in the car.

Steps
  • Put together a fun Car Office Kit with useful items that will make dad smile like:

  • Silly pens

  • Cool image post-its

  • Colorful Paper clips

  • Zippered pouch to contain supplies

    Remind Dad that he needs to pull over to the side of the road when he uses this kit, as driving and working at the same time isn't safe!
