Children and young adults love to show dad how much he means to them with handmade gifts that he can wear to church and show off on his big day. Celebrate Father's Day with presents he will enjoy that you can make with a lot of love but a little money. The whole youth group can make gifts for their dads that he will treasure.
A Personalized Necktie
Help the youngster in your life borrow one of dad's neckties for this project, or go to a thrift store to find a plain-colored tie to decorate.
Give Junior some felt scraps, yarn, craft glue, markers and googly eyes. He can cut out two faces from the felt and some hair from the felt or yarn. Using craft glue, adhere the faces and hair to the tie; then add googly eyes, smiles, glasses and a image that looks like Dad with Junior. When the glue is dry, carefully roll the tie, wrap it in tissue and place it in a decorated gift bag. When it's time for church, dad can wear his new tie.
My Little One
Most dads treasure a handmade gift featuring a photo of their child. Take a black-and-white photo of your little man or lady for dad and place it in an inexpensive, yet lovingly decorated cardboard frame. Outfit the little guy in a hat, tie and suit coat for the photo. Your little princess can wear sunglasses, a feather boa, necklace, or an apron. Take a black-and-white photo of each child and have it developed ahead of time. They can decorate cardboard frames or mats with stickers, glitter, buttons or shells and sign their names. Insert the photo into the frame and place it in a large envelope to present to dad before church.
A Big Hand for Dad
Make extra-large cookies or brownies from dad's favorite recipe and place them in cellophane gift bags from a craft or fabric store. Tie the bags closed with ribbon, yarn, raffia or twine. Trace each child's hand on a piece of colored card stock or construction paper. Have the children cut out the handprint; help the younger ones if needed. Have the children write their names on the hands and tape them to the gift bag.
My Dad's the Best
Give each child an 8 1/2-by-11-inch piece of card stock paper on which you have printed "Happy Father's Day." Have the child draw a picture of her dad being the best at whatever he's best at being: deacon, pastor, Sunday School teacher, good cook, baseball player, etc. with markers or crayons. Help her write or dictate the caption, "My Dad is the best__," and tell why. Place the drawing in an inexpensive frame from a dollar store.
