    I'm feeling really unimaginative lately :(. Are any of y'all doing anything fun/creative for Father's day? Help! :umm:

    I think I was crazy for doing this, but I had the boys make T-shirts with their handprints on them for their grandfathers (no dads in this house, so Father's Day is easy!). The project overall turned out pretty well, but wasn't without its share of drama and scary moments involving fabric paint. We did it outside on the picnic table, in diapers only.

    When my kids were still in daycare (so a little over 1), they made boxers with handprints all over them, very cute. You can do a stepping stone if you have a garden. Michael's has coffee mugs and picture frames that they can color on. Shutterfly does coffee mugs with their picture on it. You can also do handprints (or footprints) on an apron for barbecuing. I'll see what else I can come up with.

    I am really excited about my husbands gift....I bought him an inexpensive, but good mp3 player to use at the gym and I recorded the girls singing a bunch of little songs and put it on the player...like Berkners moon moon moon. I also have 3 teenage stepsons with beautiful voices and I recorded them singing "you are my sunshine".......he is going to love it.

    Thanks for the suggestions y'all! We hit up the craft store today and are going to make him a "game day" t-shirt. I got an extra t-shirt just incase we mess up the first :D .

    I had my kids make him cards. I have craft scissors that have different designs in them, and they are not sharp, so I let LOs use them to cut the edges and make the card, and then they just colored on it.
    Last year, I went to the mall and had them take a picture of the kids and put it on a tshirt and had "We love you Dad" written on it.
    They are all in preschool so they usually make something more creative there to give him as well.
