Father’s Day ~ Make It!

Can you believe that  Father’s Day is just around the corner?  

It usually fills me with dread!   I leave it to the last minute and then resort to getting the kids to do a drawing, pop it in an envelope with a gift voucher and Father’s Day is done!  But this year I WILL BE ORGANISED!  

Here’s what is inspiring this me Father’s Day.

It all starts with the card…This is an amazingly clever and relatively simple idea that anyone with a computer and printer can do at home!

Just as easy is framing an inspirational quote about Fathers.  I just love the bus scroll style!  You can find them online or try making it yourself online at wordle!

Short on time?  Get the kids organised for a creative photo! Then just print and frame or have printed onto a canvas!

Handprint Art……take two hands and a little paint and you have a gorgeous keepsake of your little ones at this moment in time that Daddy will treasure forever!  I may even just use this idea in the classroom!

Hobby Specific…so these ones don’t suit my husband but if he had a hobby they are a great idea.  It’s all in the packaging!  A cute box filled with fishing hooks?

A written snapshot!  This is a hit in my classroom every year!  I do it for Mother’s and Father’s day.  I ask the children some questions about their parent and record their answer word for word!  I especially love their answers to how old their parent is!

SO there you have it some creative and easy things to do at home for Father’s Day.  What does my husband want for Father’s Day?    Wait for it………………….

 

 His very own Kitchen Aid!!!

I kid you not!  He is an amazing cook and has been asking for one for ages!

 I think he may be waiting a little longer!

    I absolutely love most of these, especially the hand ones. The hand tree is beautiful, I don’t know why but it made me a tiny bit teary (and I’m not even hormonal!).

    Great ideas!

  3. LisaW says:

  4. Great idea Larissa, I want a kitchenaid too!!!

    So love this list and would you believe it Matt would love a Kitchen Aid as well and I so want him to have one. My Matt is a baker and loves to whip up some rolls or bread. With the amount of kids we have in our house we need a big mixer. So expensive though but so worth it! N x

  6. AlyceB says:

    Awesome ideas!! I too love the shadow photo – so clever! My husband is the kind who would want a Kitchen Aid too – he got a Dyson one year!

  7. My husband doesnt want a kitchenaid, but I would so love to get one for myself!!! He does love fishing so I could see us going a gift pack like that up! There are some great ideas there!!

  8. Norlin says:

  11. Trish says:

    Ps I just re read your last bit – for him for real …I thought it was for you !

    i saw that your hubby wants a kitchen aid if you have not already gotten him one, when you do make sure to get him the kind with the arms, not the kind where the bowl screws in to the base, they are easier to take on and off, like the one in this link.http://www.jesrestaurantequipment.com/product.asp?itemid=16990&utm_source=googleshopping&gclid=CObnu_etlLACFSoZQgodUm70qw and instead of the neck rotating it just goes up and down. we used them in culinary school and it made life easier. just some friendly advice :-)
