Any fun and easy ideas? A "World's Greatest Dad" T-shirt may be nice, but if your kids reallywant a gift that will warm Dad's heart, homemade is the way togo. One of my favorites is a simple memory card for his wallet. Just cuta credit-card-sized rectangle out of poster board, then have your kidsdecorate both sides with messages, stickers, drawings and glued-onphotographs. To make the card sturdier, cover it on both sides withclear Con-Tact paper or run it through the laminator at your local copyshop (about $2). Dad can keep the card in his wallet and take it withhim wherever he goes--a sweet reminder of who loves him best. Another fun gift is a reward jar. Kids can brainstorm a bunch of specialtreats Dad might like--from the practical ("I promise to help you rakethe leaves") to the sweet ("Redeemable for one big bedtime hug") to thecreative ("I'll read you a story at bedtime"). Write the rewards oncolored strips of paper, then slip them into a glass jar that the kidscan decorate with stickers or paint. If you're looking for card ideas, try making a photo house card or a collage card , both of which showcase some of Pop's favorite things. Anddon't forget to finish off the day with something truly sweet: adelicious Father's Day cake , decorated by your kids.
