45 Ways To Show Dad You Love Him { For Kids }

45 ways to show dad you love him for kids father's day

 

This Sunday is Father’s Day and at our house we keep it pretty simple.  My husband like so many working parents commutes daily and doesn’t skip a beat when he walks through the door immediately switching hats from work to home. No matter how hard the day was it’s left somewhere in the miles between his office and our front door.  For that  and so many other things we are so very thankful. The best way to show Dad you love him is to spend time together. So we brainstormed all the ways my kids can show their dad how much they love him. There are a few rather random ones that might not work for your family but I hope many are good reminders for simple ways to connect. If you like our list I think you will love the ones my dear friends over at Kids Activities Blog posted today.

    Is #40 supposed to say “new *tie* with polka dots”, perhaps? Or is Dad a golfer? (:
