Each parent is pleased to receive a gift made by the child with their own hands. Often it is he who turns out to be the most valuable and has been kept in the family for years. It can be done together with brothers and sisters, which will be especially nice for parents. In the article, we will consider what gift a dad from a child can give.
Present from baby
To make daddy's holiday fun and unforgettable, you need to attract a child to his organization. Since, due to age, it is not possible for the baby to do something on his own, the mother should guide and help him in the creative process. A gift to dad from young children is usually the most memorable moment of the holiday. What can be presented?
For example, if dad is an ardent football fan, you can give him a unique ball. To do this, the baby's handles are painted with paint and palm prints are left on the bright fields of the sports apparatus. After the paint has dried, the wishes or the best daddy's qualities are written with a marker.
As an option, a man can buy some kind of tool and decorate it with his child by tying a ribbon, pasting funny faces or painting. If the material allows, it can be varnished to preserve the result for a long time. Each time during the use of the parent, pleasant emotions and memories will prevail.
A child a little older can be involved in the design of the holiday. A pretty simple and fun gift for a dad from a 2-year-old child can be made from many balloons. On each, you can draw emoticons, pictures, leave prints or write a message. In addition to the fact that the result will please the birthday boy, the process will captivate the child. After all, leaving colorful silhouettes of palms is so much fun!
Children who have a little knowledge of the ability to cut with scissors and draw can be invited to create a greeting card applique for dad. Complement it easily with bright elements fashioned from plasticine. The work can be organized as follows. Mom draws a contour or sketch of a picture that is close to dad by topic (football, fishing, chess), and the child glues details and completes the decoration.
You can make the image more complete if you cut out the details from the coloring. Then stick on the album sheet and paint them. You can also take colored cardboard, make an applique in the middle, and along the edge - a dense frame of a different color. The result is a semblance of a picture.
A gift from a schoolboy
The imagination of an older child is more developed, and he can independently figure out what to make for his beloved dad and realize this idea. In addition to postcards, it can be an original bookmark for a book.
In order for the head of the family to interest the child’s present for the father’s day, you can ask your mother to buy him something and hide. And the kid must draw a map with which you can find a thing.
The original idea will be to design for a dad a collage of desires. Together with the child, his dreams, places where he would like to go with his parents or what he would like to do are discussed. Then, in old magazines, suitable illustrations are found and cut out and glued to a piece of paper. The result is not just a present for the pope, but also a performance guide for joint leisure. You can make a selection of family photos.
If a child is fond of creativity, he can independently make an author's gift. For example, write a father’s portrait or caricature, a picturesque landscape, fashion a figurine or make a cup or plate of clay. Children who play music can sing or play their favorite song for the parent, learn a poem or tell an interesting story.
