Fun Father’s Day Traditions and Ideas

Hello friends!  Did you have a good weekend?  I hope so.  I just realized this next weekend is Father’s Day – crazy!  I really thought it was two weeks away.  Anyhoo, I have been wanting to start some sort of fun tradition to celebrate the day each year.  Something simple that I could do with the kids for their dad that would, you know, make his heart melt.  I think I came up with the perfect thing that is perfect to start with little ones and carry on through the years.  I also rounded up a bunch of other ideas and traditions I found and put them in a list for you.  Catch me after the jump!

For our new tradition I thought it would be fun to ask the kids (5 and 3) all the things they love about their dad. Then every year I can ask the same question and see how the answers change as they get older.  I recorded their responses on video, and then I made up a card on PicMonkey with all of them written down. I am so excited about it!  Here is how the card turned out:

I will post later today how I made the card with printing instructions and everything.

I had to prompt them a bit to get some answers beyond “he’s strong!”.  Here are a few of the questions I asked them:

• What do you love that dad does with you?
• What is your favorite thing about bedtime with daddy?
• What do you love about dad’s face?
• What do you love most about your dad?
• What’s something your daddy says that you love?

I listed just a few of their answers on the front of the card, and then I will write the rest on the inside.  I think he is going to love it. Especially the video – most of the kids’ answers are hilarious, but there were a few that were actually really thoughtful for their age.

So now, onto some more ideas and traditions:

• Annual Competition Between The Kids and Dad on Make and Takes
• Help Dad Make Lasting Memories from Modern Parents Messy Kids
• Diy Animated Father’s Day Card from Made By Joel
