Father's Day Ideas

Here are some wonderful things that I have found for father's day. Thought that I would pass it along to all of you!

Homemade Book: 25 Things We Love About Dad

Supplies:

•4 pieces of 8½ x 11 white printer paper
•1 piece of 8½ x 11 heavy colored cardstock paper
•hole punch
•ribbon or yarn
•pen, crayons, or markers
•stickers

1. Cut each piece of white paper in half horizontally then fold each in half. Cut your colored cardstock paper a little bit taller to make for an overlapping cover. Fold the cover paper in half as well.
2. Punch 2 holes in each of the paper halves, one at the top and one at the bottom. Make sure that each hole is in the same place for each piece of paper so they match up.
3.Open up each piece of paper and place them on top of each other, with the colored cardstock piece on the bottom acting as the cover.
4. Thread your ribbon through each of the holes, binding all the paper together. Tie the ribbon off with a knot or a bow at the outside fold of the book.
5. Either write or place stickers for the words "25 Things We Love about Dad" on the front cover of the book. You can also decorate the cover with fun stickers to make it a little more fun.
6. Now write 25 things you love about Dad. One thing will go on each page, you should have 25 places to write, on the front and back of each piece of paper. Children can help talk to you about what they love about dad or they can even draw a picture. If your child is too young to write, dictate what they want to say.

Daddy Duct Dollars

Who doesn't love Duct Tape Here is an Idea on how you can give it to dad!

Materials

Duct tape
Clear plastic report cover

Instructions

 

1. Lay a 10-inch strip of duct tape sticky-side up on your work surface. Place another 10-inch strip (sticky-side down) halfway down on top of the first strip.
2. Fold down the top of the first strip over the second strip, then turn over the strips.
3. Add another strip of tape to the second strip (sticky sides together), then flip over the strips again. Continue building your sheet until it is 6 inches long, then fold up the bottom edge of the last strip. Trim any uneven edges to get a 9- by 6-inch sheet.
4. Fold the sheet in half, so that the bottom is 1/4 inch from the top. Crease the fold and secure the sides of the wallet together with narrow strips of tape.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to create a 9- by 5-inch sheet of duct tape, then cut this sheet into 4 rectangles, trimming them to 4 by 2 inches each. Tip: For smooth-edged pockets, be sure to leave one 4-inch side of each rectangle uncut.
6. Set 1 rectangle aside and stack together the other 3 (smooth edges at the top), placing each one 1/4 inch lower than the one beneath it (A). Add strips of tape at the back and along the bottom and sides to secure the pieces together (B).
7. Tape this assembly in place on the left half of the wallet, 1/4 inch in from the edge and 1/4 inch below the bill pocket. Repeat, placing the remaining duct tape rectangle on the right half of the wallet and taping the bottom and sides in place.
8. For a photo or ID holder, fold a thin strip of tape over the top edge of a 4- by 2 1/4-inch rectangle cut from a clear plastic report cover. Set the plastic rectangle atop the duct tape rectangle and tape it in place, leaving the top open. Lastly, reinforce the wallet with strips of tape wherever needed.
