I remember one of the first homemade Father’s Day gift I made for my dad. It was a wallet made out of leather and plastic lacing cord.

We made the craft in Sunday School and although it was definitely more suitable for older students, it was still so nice to make something homemade for dad.

23 FAVORITE FATHER’S DAY CRAFTS AND GIFT IDEAS

Of course there’s no rule that says gifts have to be handmade. It’s idea when you have young children at home, of course, but it’s not the only way to say Happy Father’s Day to dad. Store bought gifts are always an option – especially when the kids are older and not into crafts anymore. Coming up with the perfect Father’s Day craft for dad, more so when your kids are small, make the gift-giving experience more special.

When it comes to coming up with a gift for dad or the person who is the father figure in a child’s life, there are always the few gifts that stand out as favorite Father’s Day Crafts. Let’s take a quick peek!

PICTURE FRAMES

You can’t go wrong with a painted wooden picture frame for dad. Now that we live in a technical age, filling those frames are easy because we can just print a digital version of any picture to fill that frame.

MUGS

Giving dad a mug, especially if he’s a coffee drinker, is never a bad gift idea. You can easily customize one with some Sharpie markers or some vinyl lettering.

KEYCHAINS

When it comes to Father’s Day gift ideas, a keychain is a no brainer. Make your own or pick one up a the store; either way, dad will love it.

QUESTIONNAIRES

A new favorite Father’s Day gift idea has become surveys or questionnaires about dad. I created this popular Fun Facts About Dad printable a few years back and it’s a reader favorite. There’s even a Fun Facts About Grandpa. You can download them both for free here on The Girl Creative.

KEEPSAKE GIFTS

Keepsake gifts are the ones that hold sentimental value. They are a special gift that when a person looks at it, they think of the special memories tied to it.

HANDPRINT CRAFT

Handprint crafts are keepsake gifts. There’s few things more precious than giving the special man in children’s lives a gift with their handprint on it. Que all the “awws” and tears, right?

THUMBPRINT GIFTS

Thumbprint crafts fall under the same category as handprint gifts. Looking back on a handprint gift over the years, it will make you wonder how your now teenager was ever that small.

FOOTPRINT GIFTS

Footprint gifts hold the same sentimental value as the other “print” gifts. Oftentimes the handprint and footprint gifts are made with finger paint and construction paper. To prolong the life of these gifts, consider lamination or framing.
