Awesome DIY Father's Day Gifts From Kids

DIY projects are incredibly fun for kids because they give them something to do, allow them to use their hands and lets them use and develop their creativity. They are also a great option for a gift – for mother’s or father’s day, for instance – because they are usually made of cheap and readily available material, and they become near and dear to the recipient’s heart, as a show both of love and the capabilities of their little ones.

These gifts also have the benefit of being completely unique and providing great memories for the kids, the adults who may help make the project come true and, of course, the recipient of the gift.

Here are some pretty cool and easy DIY gift ideas for Father’s Day.

Easy Painting Art

Drawing and painting are always firmly among kids’ favorite activities, so doing a unique painting for daddy is nothing out of the ordinary for them. Whether it shows untapped talent or not, this gift is sure to end up in a frame or taped to the fridge. source.

This is probably something that only older kids can really do, but it’s a really cute and fun gift. The best part – aside from the play on words, that is – is that it can easily be done with rocks from the park or even your own backyard. source.

I Love You To The Moon And Back Daddy Card

Again, this is probably a project for older kids, because of all of the intricate work and precision required, but it is really sweet and looks so cool that it will have any father drooling from pride in no time.

This is another great gift idea for a dad with several kids. Kids of almost any age can do it – although little ones may have a hard time staying still and doing it straight.

Again with the dad rocks idea, this one can also be done using little rocks picked up in the backyard, the park or the beach. Kids of almost any age can do it if they are responsible with glue, but they might need adult help to place everything correctly. source.

Fathers everywhere are sure to love it. source.
