Father’s Day is just three days away. Haven’t shopped for dad yet? Grab the kids, raid your craft closet and have fun making these heartwarming gifts to give to dad on Father’s Day:
HANDPRINT SHIRT
The more handprints, the better for this Father’s Day craft. When you are done with the prints, finish it off with a cute message like “World’s Best Dad, Hands Down!”
Materials:
T-shirt (in Dad’s size)
Aluminum foil
Fabric paint in multiple colors
Directions:
Wash and dry the shirt before starting the project.
Lay shirt on a flat surface and place a piece of aluminum foil inside (to keep the paint from bleeding through to the back of the shirt).
Squeeze some paint out onto a paper plate and coat your children’s hands with it. Use different colors for each child.
Have children press their hands onto the shirt and then lift straight up.
Use paint to write your children’s names under each set of handprints. Then, write the phrase “World’s Best Dad Hands Down!” (or another favorite saying) under the prints.
