fourcatmom Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The only cool one I did was a few years ago. I have two kids and three step-kids. I went out and bought the big wood letters D, A and Y in white. Took black and white photos of each child individually holding up a letter to spell out DADDY. I went from the oldest to the youngest. I will see if I can share a picture. It was really cute but you could do all sorts of arrangements if you don't have 5 kids! You could take pics of kids holding each letter and arrange to spell out Dad or Daddy or whatever. It was fun. You could even do I and a heart and a U. Arranged them in a nice frame with 5 slots reading across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourcatmom Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 LOVE this idea, Fourcatmom! Thank you! I can tell I'd love you in real life. I love African Greys and cats! Thanks for such a cute idea! Alley Your welcome. I will see if I can upload the pic. It is really cute but there are so many variations to this idea that you can play with it to meet your needs. We love our Grey too, she is almost 14 years old! Older then the kids. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty Mathy Mom Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 We made shirt and tie cards last year. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/cards/tie/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&Rs Mom Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Back when the kids' feet were smaller, I had them step fabric paint footprints onto the back of a t-shirt, and in-between I wrote "my girls walk all over me." He gets tons of compliments on that shirt. This works best with multiple adults: I did it when my mom was over (to help me dangle toddlers over the shirt like a stamp), then helped a friend hold up her kids to do the same for her dh's birthday. My friend even did a pawprint of their dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I did this one w/my kids when they were young. It's a decorated clothes hanger (for those who like to know before they click). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYoungerMrsWarde Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I like to do handprint or footprint t-shirts each year. For the first year my FIL was a grandfather I made a handprint with ds#1, painted a heart around it, and wrote with paint "My grandson reaches out to take my hand and touches my heart."

*Michelle* Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Last year, I interviewed our oldest (he was 4) with 10 questions about Daddy, typed up the questions and answers, added a nice border in Word, then printed it and had my son write his name on the bottom. It's framed and on my husband's desk at work. I'll do the same questions this year and see what we get for answers this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Michelle* Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Would you share those questions? I would love to do this! Sure. Keep in mind that the humor comes from the answers, not the questions. :laugh: What is Daddy's name? What does Daddy do for fun? What does Daddy do at work? What are Daddy's favorite things to eat? What does Daddy like to drink? How old is Daddy? How tall is Daddy? What is Daddy's hair like? How much does Daddy weigh? What makes Daddy the best? What is your favorite thing to do with Daddy? How long have you known Daddy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 We made these shirts last year for Daddy and the grandpas. They were HUGE hits and have been worn over and over again. http://lookwhaterinmade.blogspot.com/2012/06/fathers-day-2012.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
