13 Ways to Celebrate Dad

Posted by admin on June 12th, 2008

Father’s Day is June 15th this year.  If you are busy taking care of baby and have yet to get a gift for daddy, then here are some quick and easy things that you can do to show you care.

1. Phone Photo
Take a cute  pic of your baby and add it to daddy’s cell phone so that every time he gets a call from  the house number the baby’s image will appear.

2. White Tee-Shirt
Get a plain white tee-shirt and paint the bottom of your baby’s feet.  Have baby walk all over the shirt (different colors add more flare).  Write ‘my baby walks all over me’ on the front of the shirt.

3. Photo Album
Get a small photo album and add cute pictures of your baby.  Get colored markers and write dates and event names (if applicable) with each photo.  Write a note to daddy from baby on the inside cover.

4. Make an Award or Certificate
Get creative and make a ‘Greatest Dad Award’.  If you can, make a seal that has your baby’s picture in the middle.

5. Coupons
Make some coupons that will come in handy for dad later.  Things like ‘1 Free diaper change’ or ‘1 free sleep in’.

6. Treasure Hunt
Hide some candy or other things dad might like around the house and create little notes and clues for dad to find his next treat.

7. Father’s Day Card
Make it personal.  Create a card at home with your computer or colored pencils or markers.  If you are able to make it with your computer, try adding different photos of your baby or maybe printing the same photo in different colors.

8. YouTube
Make dad a YouTube channel and upload videos of your baby. 

9. Be Green
Plant a tree for dad in your yard or in a pot inside if you need to.  Make sure baby can help even if it’s just by patting the dirt down.

10. Rocks
Find some good size rocks for paperweights and paint them with things like baby’s birthday or Happy Father’s Day.

11. Dad Olympics
Make a game in the yard for dad to have to play with or while holding the baby.  Twister while holding baby or playing around baby might be fun.

12.  Embroidery
Get hats 1 for daddy and one for baby.  Have daddy’s hat say (baby’s name) dad and have baby’s hat say (daddy’s name) kid.

13. Screensaver
Surprise dad by uploading photos of baby on his computer.  Set the computer so that the photos rotate through while it’s not in use.

14.  Coffee Cup
Find a cup that is made to insert multiple photos.  If that isn’t available, get a plain white cup and some colored permanent markers.  Write things dad would want to see.

15.  Frame
Get a frame with a white border and find a great photo of daddy and baby.  Write Happy Father’s Day or Best Daddy on the border and paint baby’s hand and make hand prints.

Enjoy the day and celebrate dad.
