Father's Day is a more than appropriate celebration to strengthen the family bond. We should not see it only as that holiday in which to give our partner the typical watch or the technology on duty. The father has renewed his role, has created another bond and this day is more than ideal to take advantage of this relationship and enjoy together, involving the little ones.
Not long ago we explained to you in Madres Hoy what gifts we could choose with the little ones for this date. This time, let's put our credit card aside and use our imaginations and that of the little ones to create amazing gifts that are as useful as they are full of emotion. We invite you to take note.
A while in the kitchen ...
When talking about crafts, the only thing we need to know is that theThe most important ingredients are TIME and PATIENCE. It is above all about enjoying with our children and delighting ourselves in addition to the surprise factor, the one with which we almost leave our couples breathless and with a big smile.
One of those infallible ideas that never fail is to get into the kitchen and create something simple and original so we don't get too dirty, don't create too many dishes to wash and don't have to use the oven with the little ones. Therefore, we suggest you create these incredible hors d'oeuvres:
Ingredients
- 10 toast or salty crackers
- 5 large slices of cheese of various specialties (we want to play with colors above all)
- A piece of paprika
- Some smoked salmon
Preparation
- As we can see in the drawings, it would only be about creating "shirts" with the cheese slices and later, with the help of paprika or salmon, modeling the ties.
- Children can make their own creations as much as possible. With simple anchovies and olives they can create faces, all we need is imagination.
Our "surprise" phone number for Father's Day
As endearing as it is original. In this case we will only need a black and a white card. With the black one we will create the support, which can be in the form of a mobile phone or tablet.
- Then, with the white cardboard we will create our little «apps«. To do this, just take as a model the ones we already have on our own devices: gmail, skype, whatsapp, Instagram ...
- We will draw, paint and cut them for later, stick them as a flap so that they can get up and underneath, write a personal and original message: you are the best dad in the world, I love it when you read to me at night, I like to ride my bike with you ...
A detail for the car
This idea is sure to get dad a big smile. It is original and we are sure you will love wearing it in the back of your car.
To create it we are only going to need cardboard, plastic wrap, two rings and a suction cup. All we have to do is draw, paint and cut out the triangle and then draw the outline of our children's hands on another card.
- We cut out a rectangle where to write the message you see in the image to then mount our warning sign. Very easy and wonderful for Father's Day!
That original keychain ...
Children's drawings on metal, wood or plastic supports are always very original, It is a detail with «added emotional value» that we must not renounce. It is, so to speak, the hallmark of our family, and that strange being halfway between a cookie monster and a scarecrow will undoubtedly be one of the most loved objects by the father.
- So… why not give it a try? We just have to invite our children to make their creations on a cardboard. Later ourselves we cut out the drawings and we can take it on wood or on any surface a little harder that offers durability to the keychains. The last step will be to put the carabiner to create the keychain. You dare?
Remember that the least important thing is the result. The most intense, the most enriching is the process itself and the moment in which we present our gifts on Father's Day to our partners. Worth it!
