With Father's Day looming at the beginning of September we thought some craft based gift ideas would come in handy. A couple of these projects need to be done in stages which is why we have given you some extra lead time.
Loose change tray - A perfect gift for the dad who loses everything. Easy to make and suitable for very young children.
Kind Dad crown - The kids will enjoy making and decorating these cool golden crowns.
Plaster handprints - This activity requires a few materials but results in a gift dads will treasure forever. Kids can add the final touches by painting the dried plaster of Paris.
Tie painting - A quick and easy idea which makes a great gift for dads who work in an office.
Garden plaque - Another activity which may require you to order in supplies but which has a lovely final result and would make a great gift for all garden mad dads.
Can cooler - The ultimate Australian accessory: a stubbie holder, craft foam is the main ingredient of this project which would be great fun for older kids.
Mug warmer - For dads who prefer their beverages warm. This project substitutes foam for felt and would work best for older kids.
Golf cart pen holder - This activity uses simple supplies and makes a fun present for desk bound dads dreaming on lazy days on a golf course.
DAD photo frame - Print some digital pics of the kids to glue onto these bright colourful picture frames.
Craft foam photo frame - This picture frames uses foam and can be decorated with anything you have handy. Sending the frames home with a picture taken in your service will be the perfect final touch.
