10 Handmade Gifts Children will Love to Make for Father’s Day

by The Empowered Educator Leave a Comment

Stuck for last minute Father's Day gift ideas that the children can make themselves to share with their special person on Father's Day?

There is nothing more special to a parent than receiving a gift their child has created themselves but don't over complicate the process! Encourage your children to try one of these 10 easy projects before the big day.

Empowered Ed member Kristin shared this idea with us recently - the children made cards, a world's greatest dad award and home made BBQ sauce rub (such a great idea- Dad's own BBQ Spice Blend to try out!!).

You'll definitely see Dad coming with these bright tie dyed socks that the children made with Empowered Ed member Kylie! The children will have a lot of fun making these (you could also make a matching child sized pair too!).

Katrina shared her creative idea of homemade choc chip biscuits beautifully wrapped and a unique painted cap. Special!

My twins loved making these personalised gifts for their Dad a few years ago and they still hang proudly on the wall at home!
