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:

Mothers Day/ Fathers Day/Grandparents Day

This was made for me by my daughter at pre-school. It's really cute and I love it. It makes a great Mothers Day gift, Fathers Day gift, or even Grandparents Day gift.

You'll need:

Large clothes pin (found at the craft store)
Picture of your child
Paint in what ever color you choose
paint brush
foam letters (optional- also found at the craft stores)

Simply paint the clothes pin and let it dry. Add stickers for decoration. Place the photo in and you're done :)

Do it yourself picture magnets


You'll need:
pictures
Spaghettic sauce lids
puzzle glue

We kept a bunch of old spaghetti lids (I like Classico) then traced the lid around the photo and cut out the selected photos. Then I had to trim them because they were still a little too big. I put a little glue on them to keep them down and poured just a little bit of puzzel glue on them. Now I kept hearing rave things about Mod Podge, and I've tried it several times and this is all the ever happens with it (even gloss!)
