Homemade Father’s Day crafts are a great way to get kids involved with gift-giving, but not all kid-made gifts are created equal. This year, help your kids make gifts for dad he will want to use and keep forever. I’ve gathered a huge list of DIY Father’s Day Gifts kids can make AND Dad’s will love!
Most of these gifts either reuse or re-purpose items you already have around your house, so it’s a win-win!
Looking for gift ideas that are a little more grownup? Here’s a list of Father’s Day Gifts Adults Can Make!
DIY Father’s Day Gifts Kids Can Make
Melted Crayon Rocks
Before you throw away all those broken crayons, check out this super easy DIY that kids are sure to love. Dad can use them as a paperweight OR you could put them inside a “Dad Rocks” Jar like this one below.
