We Love Dad! Father's Day Crafts
We did it for Mother’s Day… so with Father’s Day coming up, we’re doing some more craft ideas! This holiday might be coming at a good time for families to wind down as the school year ends and summer approaches. Crafts are a great way to work on visuomotor and fine motor skills post school year, while keeping it play (fun) based.
Tin Can Pencil Holder
Use those recyclables to make a utensil holder! You can use some leftover acrylic paint, make sure there are no sharp edges on the can, a brush, a printed out picture of child, craft sponge and mod podge. Here’s a great tutorial https://buggyandbuddy.com/tin-can-pencil-holder/
Record Coasters
All you need is adhesive craft foam, acrylic paint, paintbrush, pen/pencil, 4 CD’s, and scissors. These adorable coasters make a great gift; Tutorial here https://www.craftprojectideas.com/fathers-day-upcycled-record-coasters/
Dad Rocks Paperweight
Gather rocks from the backyard, and repurpose them into paper weights! You can start with using patterned tape, cut into a tie, then add some faces and fun sayings with black permanent markers. Light colored rocks may work best for contrast. Get some ideas here https://www.hellowonderful.co/post/my-dad-rocks-father-s-day-paperweight/

It’s a personalized sweet treat! This one is a little more crafty, with a great tutorial from Lars https://thehousethatlarsbuilt.com/2018/06/fathers-day-lollipop-prize-ribbons.html/
