Those who run alongside bicycles while their children are learning to ride, who rescue kids from Mom-imposed grounding, and who feel trips to the ice cream shop should be a weekly ritual. When it comes to offering Dad gifts in honor of his special day, younger children will likely find that handmade gifts from the heart are ones Dad cherishes the most. Here are a number of heartfelt, crafty ideas that children can put together for Father's Day. 1. Brimming basket: Fill a basket full of Dad's favorite foods or items related to his pastimes. Place a hand-crafted card inside and wrap with colored cellophane. 2. Scrapbook: Children can gather their favorite photos of moments they've shared with Dad and put together a small scrapbook with artwork or cutouts from magazines. Craft stores now devote entire aisles to scrapbooking supplies. 3. Personalized baseball cap: Use fabric paint or fabric markers to draw designs or messages on a light-colored baseball hat. 4. Coupon book: Put together a book of coupons that treat Dad to special things, such as a homemade breakfast, a day off of any chores, or Spas starting from $ 4,995!
