Superman Mug
For Fathers Day we decided to make my husband a mug. We went to Michaels with a 50% off coupon and bought a creatology mug. It came with paints and everything! It was only $1.07.
One side has the drawing her was actually looking for on it (in sharpie), but homemade because it was more meaningful. The other side we just couldn't leave blank. It was asking for us to draw on it. Since the girls are really into superheros right now we printed off the superman emblem. With a box cutter I cut the details out. Then taped it to the mug and traced over it all with pencil.
When I finished I went over it in Sharpie so that when the girls went to paint it they wouldn't erase the markings. I followed the directions for baking (place in oven and put in right away while heating up for 30 minutes. then let it cool down in the oven)
When it came out of the oven part of the cheap sharpie version had come off on the other side. and after baking the black sharpie wasn't as clear as we would have liked, so we went over it again. That's when we decided to add "Our Hero" under the Superman logo and it will be re-baked on

Fathers Day Cards

First go to the original source and print out the tools. Have your child color those in and with your help tell write what they like about him on them. Next, take a piece of construction paper and fold it to resemble an envelope (more or less). With black construction paper cut out a handle, a yellow square for the latch and blue triangles for... I don't really know why..

We took a rice a roni box, but it in half and then the top was cut diagonally. Tape a long yellow strip to the inside of the box. With a sharpie, make it look like a ruler, and write something like "Dad, you rule!" or "You rule dad!" on the inside. Attach a piece of tin foil to the end of the yellow strip and place inside the box, tin foil sticking out.
Then wrap it in black construction paper. Add a yellow piece of paper to the box, write a special message on it:
