In Australia Father's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in September. Help the children in your service celebrate this special day with a secret home made gift project.
Paperweights An easy activity for all age ranges and can be scaled up or down in complexity accordingly.
Handprint poems Print off enough copies for each child in your class and allow them to decorate to their heart's content. The heartfelt words will melt the heart of every dad.
Tissue paper fish A lovely collage which offers lots of opportunities for textural experiences.
Photo frame The foam frames used in this activity can be bought from craft and $2 dollar stores and can be decorated with all the usual bits and bobs found in child care environments.
DAD photo frames Younger kids will need help with the letter formation but should be able to do all the decorating themselves. Use photos taken during the week to decorate for extra impact.
Loose change tray A quick and easy activity which can be done last minute.
Photo coaster Use old CDs/DVDs and create a personalised drink coaster.
Handprint photo frames A bit messy and more equipment intensive but this significant project results in a genuine keepsake which even the youngest kids can get involved in.
Portrait cards Provide a template head and let the children draw a picture of their dad for use on a card.
