Funky Father’s Day Crafts

What could be better than giving your Dad a unique gift created by you? We have a few ideas of how you can impress Dad with funky crafts for all ages to create.

#1. Father’s Day Rosette

This easy Father’s Day rosette is a lovely way to let Dad (and everyone else) know that he is the best, and it’s a fun “crafts for kids” project for children of all ages.

You can make it as colourful as you like and decorate it in many different ways.

And apart from glue, the rosette can be made entirely from recycled materials that you have around the house.

#2. Salt Dough DAD Magnets

#3. Best Dad I Ever Saw

Isn’t this a sweet and easy idea from Easypreschoolcraft.blogspot.com?

Using a paper plate and a saw cut out of construction paper, you can make a Best Dad I Ever Saw card.

You could do other favourite things of your Dad in place of the saw (my husband isn’t very DIY oriented but he’d love an LP themed card!).

There are also lots of other great options for homemade cards on sassydealz.com, including this monkey fingerprint card.

#6. Tee-rrific Dad Jar

For the golf-mad Dad, this Fathers Day present idea from Kmckaydesigns.com might be just the ticket.

Create a fun golf tee jar out of an old sauce jar and fill it with golf tees that have little messages written on the sides of each tee.

Then write a nice message on to a circle sticker on the front.

#7. I Love You This Much

We think this I Love You This Much Card from tiffkeetch.blogspot.com is adorable with its trace-around hands and concertina join.

It is a lovely craft project especially for younger kids.

#8. Dad Rocks Paperweight

We love the simplicity of this Dad Rocks Paperweight project from OurFamilyWorld. After all what Dad wouldn’t love a paperweight created by his kids?

Choose a rock that would be heavy enough to hold down paper, and ensure thoroughly cleaned. Then paint with acrylic paint letting the kids be as creative as they like.

Follow with a thin layer of glitter glue, and once dry write “Dad Rocks”. Finish with acrylic sealer spray.

#9. I Love My Dad Annual Father’s Day Craft

My Dad printable fathers day crafts

This is a super easy Father’s Day gift idea for the kids. Print off our free downloadable “I Love My Dad” sheet and get the kids to fill it in. Their answers will be personal and meaningful to Dad, and will be sure to bring a smile to his face.

Get the kids to make their own homemade Father’s Day cards and include the sheet in the card.

It’s also worth keeping sheets from year to year, and watch how the answers change as the kids grow.

Expect some cute answers!
