DIY Father’s Day Paint Crafts

Have some little ones in your household? Then they’ll need your help in creating a special Father’s Day gift for Dad. If Dad is a fisherman, golfer, or baseball fanatic – these DIY paint crafts are definitely up his alley:

Fishing You a Happy Father’s Day!

What you'll need:

• Ceramic Mug
• Enamel Paint
• Tiny Hands
• Paint Brush
• Sharpies/Painters Pens (optional)
• Oven

This punny mug is the perfect memento for Dad. Take a ceramic mug (find a cheap one at a dollar store!) and wash it well with vinegar or glass cleaner to remove any oil or residue. Then, paint a thin layer of paint on your little one’s hand and press it onto the mug, lift off, and wait for it to dry. Once dry – help your child paint on the remaining elements (other fish, fishing hook, bubbles, etc.) with a paint brush. Take it a step further by writing Happy Father’s Day (or Fishing You a Happy Father’s Day) across the top of the mug with a sharpie or painters pen. When finished, place the mug in a cold oven and set it to 350 degrees. Once heated, set a timer for 30 minutes and once it goes off – shut off the heat and let the oven (and mug inside) cool down. 

Daddy’s Golf Course

What you'll need:

• Construction Paper
• Paint
• Toothpicks
• Glue
• Story Telling Skills
• Little Feet

Tell your family story by giving Dad a personalized golf course! Paint a thin layer of paint onto your kids’ feet and have them step on a large piece of construction paper. Then type up each child’s story, print and glue next to each “hole.” Finish by decorating each hole with a toothpick and triangle cut out with the flag number. Sand traps, water, and other accessories optional.

Hands Down – We Make a Good Team Plate

What you'll need:

• Ceramic Plate
• Enamel Paint
• Brushes
• Sharpies/Painters Pens
• Tiny Hands

Repeat a similar process as the earlier mug – clean your plate well with vinegar or glass cleaner to remove any residue. Then paint a thin layer of paint onto your child’s hands and have them press down in the center of the plate. Once dry, start adding the other elements – heart stitching and a message to dad. Place the finished product in a cold oven and heat up to 350 degrees, bake for 20-30 minutes, and allow the oven and plate to cool down!
