7 Outside-the-Box Ideas for Kids’ Gifts for Dads on Father’s Day

Father’s Day is a special occasion to celebrate the Dads in our lives, and kids love being a part of making their Dads feel special. Instead of the usual tie or coffee mug, why not try something a bit more creative this year? Here are seven outside-the-box ideas that will make any Dad’s Father’s Day memorable and unique.

1. Customized Storybook

Create a personalized storybook where the child and Dad are the main characters. There are various online services that allow you to customize the names, appearances, and even the storyline. This gift is not only fun but also becomes a cherished keepsake that Dad and the child can read together. If your child wants to write a story about them and Dad as the main characters even better! Depending on the age, this can be written, colored or magazine photos can be used to tell the story.

2. Handmade Art

Encourage the kids to make a piece of art for Dad. Whether it’s a painted canvas, a clay sculpture, or a photo collage, handmade art is a heartfelt gift. You can even frame it to give it a polished look. This not only showcases the child’s creativity but also becomes a beautiful piece to display at home. It doesn’t matter what idea your child has for the homemade gift, it really is the thought that counts.

3. DIY Memory Jar

Help the kids create a memory jar filled with notes about their favorite moments with Dad. They can write down fun memories and reasons they love their Dad or even draw little pictures. Every time Dad pulls out a note, he’ll be reminded of the special bond he shares with his children.

4. Adventure Coupon Book

Make a coupon book with different activities and adventures that Dad and the kids can do together. Ideas can range from a backyard camping night, a trip to the ice cream shop, or a movie night at home. This gift keeps on giving as Dad and the kids look forward to redeeming the coupons and spending quality time together.

5. Custom Puzzle

Turn a favorite photo or drawing into a custom puzzle. There are many online services where you can upload an image and have it turned into a jigsaw puzzle. This fun and interactive gift allows Dad and the kids to work together to piece it together, creating a lasting memory.

6. Cooking or Baking Kit

Put together a kit with all the ingredients and a recipe for a fun cooking or baking project that Dad and the kids can do together. Whether it’s making homemade pizza, baking cookies, or creating a breakfast masterpiece, cooking together is a great way to bond and make delicious memories.

7. Personalized Board Game

Create a custom board game featuring family memories, inside jokes, and fun challenges. You can use a blank board game kit and let the kids design the game pieces, cards, and board. This one-of-a-kind game will provide hours of entertainment and laughs, making it a gift that will bring Dad some extra joy and laughs.

Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show appreciation for all the wonderful Dads out there. These outside-the-box gift ideas are not only thoughtful and unique but also foster special moments between Dads and their children.
