I found a ton of cute DIY craft ideas that would make the perfect Valentine’s day gifts for dad and that your littles will have so much fun creating.
Kid’s Handprint canvas
This is the easiest DIY but such a great way to remember how little they once were! I love handprint gifts and I pulled out some paints (look for the washable kind!) and canvases and let the girls pop their handprints right on the canvas.
My little one wanted to do some additional fingerpainting so I of course let her personalize it! My husband loved his gift and we still have it up in his office.
My girls love to do creative projects for the holidays. It helps to teach them about the holiday and keeps them entertained. They are always so proud of their work and it’s the perfect opportunity to teach them about giving. Check out these fun DIY gift activities below.
