Kids can dish out their appreciation and love for Dad with these personalized activities for the man who deserves the sweetest recognition!
1. Just to Say “We Love You” Jar
Who says love notes have to be for Valentine’s Day? Fill a jar with notes that express all the things you love about Dad. From his cheesy jokes to his super fix-it skills and his great big bear hugs, tell him everything that makes him special to you. Each note serves as a sweet reminder of his awesomeness that Dad can savor whenever he needs a pick-me-up.
2. Mini-Me Dad Impressions
Whether Dad is more sporty, business-casual, or has his own unique style, help kids dress up like him and do their best impression of the most important man in their life. This playful way to honor Dad is fun for everyone and makes for a sweet tribute to the man they look up to so much.
3. Return the Favor
If you consider all the hard work Dad does as favors! He technically doesn’t have to do all the things he does, so why not show him it’s appreciated by serving him the way he serves everyone else for a day. Whether Dad works hard cooking, cleaning, or building, return the favor. You can make him a meal, pick up extra chores, or build something for him!
4. Make a Memory Book
Take Dad down memory lane with a personalized scrapbook. Include pictures, drawings, and handwritten stories about your favorite moments with Dad. Think about all kinds of experiences you’ve had with Dad from family vacations to short car rides where you laughed really hard at one of his jokes. Each page can share a unique memory that makes Dad feel loved and admired.
5. Dad-Led Masterclass
Dads have a lot to teach, but kids aren’t always willing to listen. So throw Dad a bone this Father’s Day and be an eager student! Get set up for his favorite hobby whether that means gathering the golf clubs, packing up the fishing gear, or breaking out the comics. Then tell Dad you’re ready to adventure with him into one of his passions!
6. One-of-a-Kind Dad Award
Give Dad the recognition he deserves with an award suited to his unique skills and talents. Anyone can get a #1 Dad mug, but maybe your Dad is the King of Dad Jokes or the MVP of Bedtime. Craft an award out of household materials, then personalize it to fit the one-of-a-kind Dad in your home!
7. Pick Something Extra Personal
None of these ideas seem to fit the Dad you want to celebrate? Get extra personal and think about what Dad really loves to do. Is he a big ol’ prankster? A sports enthusiast? Why not plan a playful prank just for him or set up a sports-themed couch party and watch his favorite team. Whatever you choose, make it all about him!
Whether you're crafting away or embarking on a wild adventure, the most important thing is to shower Dad with love, laughter, and sweet memories.
Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there–you are the icing on the family cake!
Show Dad he’s out-of-this-world and give him a break
with this galactic no-bake kitchen adventure!
