Daily Idea #74: Father’s Day Craft

Mother’s Day came and went and we had to brunch at home. The states are starting to open back up and Father’s Day is a week away! While we may have more options available for activities out of the house, it’s still nice to receive a homemade gift to honor the dad’s (and dad figures) in our lives.

Today, we are making Dad finger painting pictures. If you don’t have fingerpaints you can use water colors or crayons. You’ll need a plain sheet of paper, painter’s tape or something similar, finger paints/watercolors. (If if using watercolors then you’ll need a paint brush and water).

Cut your tape into about 4 inch sections. Place it on the paper in the shape of each letter in the word DAD. Set out different colors of paint and have your child finger paint away. If you are using watercolors, use the paint brush and the paints to cover the paper as your child wants. Let the paint dry and remove the tape. You’ll have a beautiful homemade picture for dad that you can frame or make into a card.
