Father’s Day is special because…

“Raising a family can be tough sometimes, and every parent likes to feel appreciated. Most of the dads I know hit the ground running as soon as they get home from work. They barely take off their jacket before they’re helping bath the kids and get them ready for bed, dinner, etc. Father’s Day is a great opportunity to reflect on all the things – big and small – that dads do for their family throughout the year.” Jorgan Symes, Mr Gift co-founder

“What would we do without dads? Who would fix the car, lift heavy stuff, remove spiders from the house, take lids off jars, mow the lawn, and more? We reckon dads are super and deserve our appreciation for all the little things they do (that often get overlooked throughout the year). This year we challenge you to make dad feel less like an ‘unsung hero’ and more like a ‘superhero’!” Courtney Symes, Mr Gift co-founder

Handmade Father’s Day Gift: Mess-Free Baby Painting

This handmade Father’s Day gift idea is great for families with little ones who are a bit too young to draw or colour in an artwork for Father’s Day…

Image from www.candokiddo.com



Why we love it:

  • It’s simple and inexpensive – you just need a tray, a couple of golf balls and some paint
  • This is a great (mess-free) activity for babies and young children, who will love seeing the colours and patterns they create. The activity helps promote co-ordination, especially using two hands. 
  • You could cut this artwork out into any shape, write on it and frame it, or turn it into a personalised Father’s Day card. 
  • This is a great way for kids to create art for birthdays, anniversaries, or Mother’s Day. 
Have you done any art activities with your children?
