We have been spending the week on a few Father's day activities......
As daddy is in construction i found this cute digger printable on http://kidscraftweekly.com/printables.htmlPainting,cutting and constructing it using split pins to make it moveable
We added photo's in the window of Tara driving with her little brother due later in the year in the back seat lol
Couldn't resist this little craft activity as Tara loves to "help" daddy fix things with a tape measure so we followed the instructions fromhttp://familyfun.go.com/crafts/holiday-seasonal-crafts/fathers-day-crafts/fathers-day-cards/how-dad-measures-up-904176/The yellow tape moves in and out and has "You rule, Dad!" written on it.
Not sure if i will be able to get Tara to give it to daddy on the weekend, she is having too much fun using it herself but it is a real hit!
This cut and paste activity was perfect for Tara's age. She needed little help and really enjoyed finishing it. The squares are easy for toddlers to try and cut out and the letters just need to be matched to the shadows on the template-great letter recognition.
Finished it off with a little colour and ready to give to daddy. The templates are found here and you can choose a boy or a girl design.http://www.makinglearningfun.com/themepages/FathersDayCutandGlue.htm
Tara made this award for daddy and it was a great learning lesson. Talking about shapes and counting, she really enjoyed the cutting and pasting activity. You can find it at http://www.makinglearningfun.com/themepages/FathersDayTrapezoidCutandPaste.htm
This beautiful card is downloaded from Danielle's placehttp://www.daniellesplace.com/Images2/grapeleafdadpat.gifOnce the vine and leaf is coloured in and cut out it can be stuck on card stock and then with a bingo marker start dobbing your grapes in a triangle pattern
To make it easier for Tara i drew a triangle and asked her to dob circles inside the triangle. Finish off with "i love you a bunch!"

After i cut out the nuts, Tara stuck it all together on some card stock and added some googly eyes to her nut.
She made some baby ones to add to the card and i added the tittle "I'm nuts about you Poppy!"
We added a little treat inside...a pack of nuts to eat!
