I am always looking for fun things to do with my toddler. We have an entire day of the week devoted to doing some sort of art or craft project during our summer schedule and I really enjoy that time watching him learn and getting to be creative! With Father’s Day right around the corner, I compiled 15 easy and kid-friendly DIY gifts so he can pick what to make his dad for Father’s Day.
There are a number of reasons to do arts and crafts with your toddler aside from the obvious FUN of course! Arts and crafts really help with several key developmental milestones like fine motor skills, visual processing ability, and build confidence.
First up- a few ideas for the universal dad. Picture frames like this rock-themed frame or dad cut out frameare sure to make him smile.
Does dad love sports? This golf themed fathers day card or baseball mit card are sure to be hits!
Or maybe dad is into outdoor activities like grilling, woodworking and fishing? He may like this fishing themed card, saw plate, fish craft or grilling plate!
Coffee lover? Give this sharpie mug a try!
Or maybe dad is into all kids of things and you just want to create something cute and fun! Maybe he would like this popsicle craft, dad initial with hand prints, easy dad plate or popsicle stick box.
And maybe these footprints for dad or a cool wooden key holder!
We could always run out and purchase something but I know their dad will appreciate the time and effort his little guy put into making him something! Even though he will have a lot of help from mama lol. I encourage you to get out the arts and crafts and help your little guy or gal create the perfect gift for dad this year!
