I love nothing more than letting the kids get crafty to make homemade gifts that they hand over with pride. With Father’s Day on its way, I’ve been making a list of simple and easy Father’s day crafts for kids. These homemade Father’s Day gifts will be a real treat for Dads to receive!

We have put together a mix of gifts that can be made from free items found while out and about and some that require a bit more work. The majority of these gifts can be made easily by children of all ages. We hope you (and Dad) enjoy them!

Homemade Father’s Day Gifts

#1. Scribble Mug

This fun craft idea from The Yewman Projects is suitable for all ages. Pick up a plain mug and some porcelain pens and let the kids go wild. If you can’t get the pens, paint will do.

#2. Worth Every Penny Card

Check down the back of the sofa and gather up all the loose change to make Dad an extra special card this Father’s Day, like this one from Mama Knows. If you find enough coins, you could even make the letters completely out of cash!

#3. Dad Specs

How cool will Dad look in his homemade Father’s Day specs? He won’t want to take them off! Fine Craft Guild has all the instructions on how to make these super specs.

I love this idea from Love Create Celebrate using your wee one’s footprint. Who knows, it may even remind him he needs to get on with a job or two after Father’s Day is out the way…!

#5. Dad Rocks Frame

This idea from Macaroni Kid is probably one of the easiest crafts for toddlers.

Take the kids on a nature walk and have them find as many pebbles as they can. Bring them home, wash them and glue them to an inexpensive frame.

Your child can then draw a picture of Daddy, or insert a photo of them together. Dad is sure to absolutely love this homemade Father’s Day gift.

#6. Father’s Day Bookmarks

#7. Candy Tie

Has Dad got a sweet tooth? Pick his favourite sweet treats and make him some candy ties, with full instructions from Natural Beach Living for this simple Father’s Day project.

#8. Hero Daddy Hanging Plaque

Surprise him this Father’s Day with this gorgeous homemade wall hanging plaque idea from Shanty 2 Chic. It’s so simple to make and comes with a free printable too.

#9. POP Corn

Get it, POP Corn? If Dad is a movie man and likes his nibbles then he’ll love this cool idea from Tried & True Blog.

Make a batch of popcorn treats and tuck in a cinema voucher to treat him to a movie, or set up camp at home and watch one of the best family movies of all time.
