Father’s Day will soon be here! And while we are able to get out to some stores by now, some of us are still content to stay at home and avoid the crowds. We have a few fun and easy Father’s Day gift ideas that you can make with supplies from your home. Let’s celebrate our dads in style this weekend!
Constellation Art
I found this creative idea while browsing Pinterest one day. This craft offers a way for your preschoolers to practice their letters and create an out-of-this-world piece gift for dad. You can begin by using a paintbrush or an old toothbrush to splatter-paint some white paint onto the background of your picture. This will be the starry night sky. After that dries, use a piece of chalk to write the letters. You can make this for Dad, Daddy, Pop, or anyone else you like. Place your star stickers on different points of your letters to make it look like a constellation. What a fun piece of art for Dad!
Painted Rocks
Does your dad rock? Well, tell him so with a fun painted rock! Painted rocks have become popular in the last few years and you can check out Painted Rocks of Pennsylvania (PROPA) for some neat ideas. This gift can be used as a paperweight on a desk or nightstand and dad will get to see it everyday. What a great reminder that he is loved! First, gather rocks from outside. It is best if you can find some with smooth sides for your words. Clean your rocks and let them dry completely. Use acrylic paints to decorate your rocks with colors and designs. After the paint is dry, you can use a sharpie marker to write your unique message. This creative gift will last for years!
