I'm pleased and the kids are very amused that painting cups and bowls yellow can turn into this ::

I know!!
It's funny because we make a big deal about Mothers day.
I need to run out to the craft store to pick something up, just no idea what,
Love that trophy!!!

We are working on three projects b/w my own kids and the daycare kids:

Dad's Crown:

Frame (older kids can do this):

For the infant that I have, I will be painting a wood frame (with wide wood edges) white, and then putting the baby's handprint on one side, footprint on the other.

Anybody have a Father's day saying, about following in Dad's footsteps? I did hand prints for Mother's Day, would like to do Feet for Father's Day.

Mine are all babies, so we can't "make" anything.


Off to google Father's footsteps...

I have a few too small to make a craft. We do many hand crafts, I LOVE the foot print idea, please pose if you find anything worth sharing.

I found this one. I'm going to center it on the paper and put their foot prints on each side. The lady I got it from, did it each year and put them in a frame, on top of each other, so they could see how much her son had grown each year.

Footprints

"Walk a little slower Daddy," said a child so
small. "I'm following in your footsteps and
I don't want to fall."

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to ss;
So walk a little slower Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all drown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.

The "Footprints" poem and many other crafts that have been done can be found on this lady's page.

This picture is really neat as well if you have a picture of their family.

My Daddy is Ten Feet Tall

I found a cute book called My Daddy is Ten Feet Tall by Mark D. Vander Giessen. Perfect father's day gift!

Last year we did a fooprint for Father's day. I traced the outline of a man's shoe onto construction paper and then placed each child's footprint in the middle. We added the caption: Daddy, someday I hope to fill your shoes! Framed in frames from the dollar store. They were a hit.

I'm not sure what we are doing for daddy's day as far as the daycare kids go. I have a sibling set of three whose dad is um.... Otherwise getting three hots and a cot if you know what I mean. It's sort of a bad spot with the kids. So I'm thinking of doing something that can be mailed like a painting or coloring card craft thing. He can't have gifts or anything like that.

Out of 11 families in care I have 2 that the father is actively in the child's life. Geeze, we do something each year but most of the kids don't even have or know what a "Father" is and most of the stuff ends up in the garbage.
