A Father's Role

On this paper you will find,
some tiny footprints that are one of a kind.
They 're here to remind you the role you play,
in the foundation that you lay.
God has given you this great treasure.
Teach her right and share her pleasure.
She learns from you in every way,
so be careful of the words you say.
Hold her tight and calm her fears.
When she cries wipe away her tears.
In all these things she feels your love,
and learns to trust the Lord above.

How to Make a "Dad, I'm Nuts About You" Father's Day Gift for Dad:

1. If you are using a metal lid, sand it to make it ruff. Have an adult spread the epoxy glue over the top of the lid and then put small amounts of glue on the peanuts and stick them to the top of the lid.  Let the glue dry.

2. Use tacky glue (a child can do this part) to glue the rest of the nuts on the top making a pile of nuts.  Let the glue dry and then paint the lid and peanuts with gold or other color of paint.

3. Draw a label on a piece of paper and write, "Dad, I'm nuts about you!  Decorate the label and glue it to the jar.

Just You and Me - By Sam McBratney / Candlewick Press

Little Goosey and Gander Goose are on a walk down to the river when storm clouds roll in. Gander Goose tries to find a place to hide during the storm but every place seems to be taken by other animals. The other animals offer to share their warm places, but Little Goosey is scared of storms and doesn't want to share a place with anybody else when the thunder comes. They end of sharing a warm place with all the animals without knowing it, but Little Goosey gets to finish their walk down to the river with just Gander Goose.

Dads may spend long hours away from their families, but not without cost. Many carry photos in their pockets to remind them of who they are working for and keep homesickness at bay. Honor their sacrifice this Father’s Day by having their sons or daughters make this paper wallet craft with a poem of appreciation to fill with coupons for hugs, kisses, drawings, or chores, and show them that you noticed their efforts and miss them too!

Use this poem to go along with a wallet filled with coupons for hugs, kisses, and chores, etc.

A Wallet filled with Love

"All the money in the world could never compare,
To all the hugs and kisses and the ways you show you care,
I wish I could repay you for everything you've done.
If you open up this wallet, you'll see how I've begun."
Written by Carolyn Warvel
