Fathers Day Ideas

A store-bought gift just doesn’t send the perfect message for 2018 Father’s Day. Instead of buying something from the store, crafty moms and kids can make their own Father’s Day gifts right at home. Dad will love getting a unique gift that was made with love by his family.

Mini Mint Tin Toolboxes
Turn the classic Altoids tin into an adorable mini toolbox that’s perfect for Father’s Day. The tin is the ideal size for holding small items such as coins, gum, nuts and bolts, and other on-the-go supplies.

Mustache Mug
Dress up a boring porcelain mug with a cheeky mustache that brings some character to his morning. All you needs is a plain mug, a sharpie, a mustache stencil (if you don’t trust your own drawing skills), and a porcelain paint pen, which you can find at most craft stores.

Father’s Day Picnic
Leave the fancy dining for another day, and instead enjoy a casual picnic on Father’s Day. Pack a picnic kit with all the essentials, plus a few embellishments you and the kids create.Head out to Dad’s favorite outdoor spot (or the backyard) for a fun and stress-free meal.

Luggage Handle Cover
Traveling dads know what a hassle it is to locate his luggage among a sea of other suitcases at the airport. Make a handsome luggage handle cover to embellish his suitcase and make it easy to spot when he’s waiting at Baggage Claim.

Father’s Day Candy Gram
Write a fun message that’s peppered with candy puns, and use it to make a candy gram for Dad to enjoy on Father’s Day.

Father’s Day Questionnaire
Create a questionnaire that’s all about Daddy, and have the kids each fill it out. This is a gift that works best for younger kids, as their answers could prove to be both sweet and silly. Frame the finished questionnaire for Dad to display and enjoy.

Father’s Day Crown
Mom is always the queen of the house, but Dad can be king for a day with a handmade Father’s Day crown. It’s a fun and easy project for kids of all ages to help create.
