Fresh Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Posted by Kristin Bushong On June - 7 - 2010

Here is the friendly reminder that Father’s Day is less than 2 weeks away (June 20). Do you and your kids need some new ideas for recognizing Dad on this special day?

Our number one choice is a one-of-a-kind craft project. Here at Growing Tree Toys, one of our most popular Father’s Day items year after year is the Enchanted Garden Stones Kit. This neat project includes “magic stone mix” and all of the embellishments to make it your own.

(Are you near our State College store? Join us for our Kidtivity™ of this project on Saturday, June 19, just in time for Father’s Day the next day! Call 814-237-3655 or stop by to reserve a spot for your kid or kids.)

Here are some more favorite giftable, DIY projects:

• Design Your Own Soccer Ball Kit
• Build a Birdhouse Kit
• Illustory Kit

Another fun way to thank Dad is with a festive Father’s Day meal. Our recent featured blog, Our Family Treat, is a great place to stop for kid-friendly recipes, like Black Bean Burgers and Chocolate Chip Vanilla Pudding Cookies.

One more awesome source for ideas to get kids in the kitchen is the Disney Family Fun Recipes section. They have a festive collection of Father’s Day recipes, from the Tee Time Cake to the super-cute Pop’s Personalized Pretzels, pictured!

You can also skip the kitchen prep by planning a fun picnic! Get together cold cuts, condiments and rolls, or simply get some subs to go and spend the afternoon at a favorite park or other outdoor spot. Don’t forget your camera!

But hey, what about the Dad who’s really just a big kid? We have several toys that not only he, but the whole family will find fun!
