Father's Day Crafts

My hubby left this morning for Phoenix until tomorrow afternoon.  With him away and Father's Day being tomorrow, I decided to take advantage of this special time with just the kids and help them make personalized cards for my hubby and their grandpas.  Our two oldest littles are big enough to make their own cards and Rylie loves crafts.  I love everything my kids make, and a card handmade by them is more special than anything Hallmark can come up with!!!!  I remember when Rylie started preschool, I tried keeping all of her art projects that she made everyday.  After about 3 weeks of that and the house overwhelmed by art projects, I decided I had to be a little more selective on what I kept and let go.

We started project "Father's Day" while Liam and Eric were napping.  I busted out markers, paint, stamps and construction paper.  I helped Rylie with the writing, but she did all the painting, drawing, and she wrote her own name on each card herself.  To make it special I had Rylie and Liam's hand print on all the cards and put Eric's footprint on them.  Eric didn't care for the cold paint on his foot, so after the first card, I used a black ink pad for his part. 

Here's the finished project:



I can't get this card flipped around :(





Liam's card he made for Daddy!

The kids had a blast making their Father's Day projects, and Rylie is excited to give her Daddy his special card!  I'm already thinking of gifts for Christmas, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, with a little more detail and flare!!!!

We wrapped up our project filled afternoon with a little ice cream!!!
