*Dads get the warm weather, so they can golf.
*Dads get there to be no school, so mom can watch the kids all day-so he can golf.
*Dads get a day on Sunday, so he can watch sports.
These answers are from a student when asked why Father's Day was in June.
Students often get to make all kinds of crafts for moms on their day, but school is usually out when it comes to dads. Here are a few ideas so fathers can get the homemade crafts with love.
I always love to go to enchanted learning to see what ideas they have. Such easy, practical crafts.
Michael's had great site this month for crafts: Crafts for dads
Barnes and Noble has a great section for gift ideas.
A few good reads:
My ultimate favorite gift I had the kids make for their dad was a book. I ordered them from Bare Books. We started the books on the first of June, 2006. I placed a picture of each child and they could decorate the cover. On the back we created an "about the author page."
We then did the steps for writing, prewriting, outlining, drafting, editing, writing, and publishing.
They wrote on the bottom of the page and drew their illustations on the top.
When they first started this project, they were 5 years old. This year, there are 8 more pages left in the book that they will complete. For 5 years, the kids have been adding to the bare book, and now it is a chapter book.
Dad loves it. I love it. It is great to see how the kids have grown.
Whatever you decided to do for dad, I am sure he will have a wonderful day just being remembered.
I enjoy the suggestions for books. I would love to see a post on good books for toddler boys (18 months old). My son sits well and loves to read. We are always on the lookout for new books.
