This is one of the best Father's day crafts for toddlers. It is an easy to make project and dads are sure to love this gift made by their little ones. Get a new plain t-shirt, black or white is best for this project. Also, have some fabric or acrylic paint colors. Take 3-4 flat plates and transfer one paint color in each of these. You can also have a mix of colors. Ask your kid to choose the colors. Now, just dip his palms in these and have his colorful hand prints on the t-shirt. You can either have this design on the front side or back side of the t-shirt. Make sure you insert a thick cardboard or plastic sheet inside the tee so that the color does not get transferred to another side. Leave it for drying. Adults can consider having other fabric paint designs on the t-shirt, to make a sweet gift for dad.

Beaded Key Chain
This is one of the easy Father's day crafts for adults and kids. All you need is thick string or yarn, key chain ring and beads with alphabets in medium size. You can choose from various sizes and shapes. Use neutral colors, don't make it jazzy. You can buy all this material from hobby stores. Now take double string or yarn, make sure it is thick enough not to break and passes through the bead holes. Decide what you want the key chain to say, a small message like 'Thanks Dad' or his name or a small phrase. Accordingly you will have to buy the beads consisting of these alphabets. Now start stringing in the beads one by one to make the phrase. When you're done, tie a knot to secure them in place. Get the key chain ring and secure it with a few knots. One of the best Father's day crafts is ready.

Notepad for Your Dad
Here's the procedure of making a small notepad for your dad. Take a few A4 size pages (about 8), hole punch, card paper and a decorative, thick thread. Cut the sheets into half to make 16 pages. Place them on each other and fold into half, horizontally. This will make a mark in the center to help you punch holes. You have to punch two holes, one at the top and one at the bottom of the page, at equal distance from the marking. Take a set of 4-5 papers and together punch holes. Take two pieces of thick card paper which are ½ inch larger than the pages. Punch holes at same point on each of these card papers. Now place one card paper on the table, keep all the pages on this and then place another piece of card paper on the top. Set all these neatly so that the holes of all the papers and both card papers match well so that you can see through them. Take a long, thick and decorative thread. Insert it in one hole from the top card paper, let it pass through the papers and another card paper. Now bring it up through another hole. So you have two ends of this thread, tie these in a knot at the top or the bottom hole or in the center. Tie 2 knots and finally one bow knot. Leave about 2-3 inches of strings free and cut off the extra piece. The notepad is read, just give it some finishing touches. Write a sweet quote or message with glitter pen on the top card paper. This is surely one of the best and most useful homemade gifts for dad.

Photo Collage
Photo gifts are amongst the best personalized and treasured gifts that you can present your near and dear ones. One photo gift idea is to make a collage of his photographs. Take about 3-4 photographs of your dad. Now cut them and place them creatively on a cardboard. Before you glue them, decorate the cardboard by giving it a nice background paint. Glue a satin or metallic ribbon on the borders. Now glue the photographs in the center. They should not look scattered. You can fill up the remaining space at the bottom with a nice quote. Get this framed and present it to your daddy on this Father's day.
