• Decorate brownies or cookies! Go to the grocery store and let them pick out which type they would like to bake. Buy some frosting and sprinkles for the kids to throw on them when they have cooled off. They can even write #1 on each dessert in different colors. This is easy and fun treat for a young child to do and dad will love it too!

• Handprints! Handprints change sizes over time but dad will be able to keep it as a memory to look back on throughout the years. They have the cement or sand kits at local craft stores like Michaels and AC Moore that you can use to get started. Younger kids can easily contribute to father’s day by doing this craft.
