We love keepsake art for holidays, especially for Mother's Day and Father's Day. This year we did a simple Handprint Trace Art for Father's Day. We love easy and fun at my house.

DIY Road Shirt for Dad from His Favorite Shirt
This post brought to you by Fruit of the Loom®. All opinions are 100% mine.
We love getting daddy his favorites for Father's Day or birthday. Getting him something he can use and loves is always at the top of our idea lists. The Fruit of the Loom® Men’s Sure Fit Crew Tees and Fruit of the Loom® Men’s Sure Fit Boxer Briefs are just a few of his favorite things. We wanted to turn one of his favorite shirts into a gift with a twist. We made a DIY Road Shirt out of one for him to wear while the kids played on it.
Father's Day Card Idea
I am so last minute this year with getting granddad's cards and gifts for Father's Day. Once, I would have had cards a month ago. Now I wait until the day before, lol. I at least have taken the kids shopping for daddy and we had his gifts last week. Progress not perfection, right.
I went to Craftprojectideas.com to grab a link for an upcoming post where I used some of their awesome supplies. When I went to the site, the Father's Day section drew me in. Inspiration soon hit with one of the projects. Now we had a card idea for the grandfathers!
The I Wheelie Love You, Dad Craft is what we based our cards off of. You have to head over to craftprojectideas to see how awesome their craft ideas are for everything.
Fish Craft For Dad
While putting my 10 Things Kids Love Father's Day Post I came across a blog I had never visited before Giggles Galore. With her permission I shared a few of her awesome Father's Day ideas( see her list here) in our post 10+ Father's Day Ideas Kids Love. Her fish craft inspired us to make one of our own. So here is our fish craft we made to hang up as decoration for daddy at our house. My 2yr and 4yr love to make holiday crafts or pictures for us to use in the house as decoration. So this was perfect for the upcoming holiday Father's Day. It was also a way for us to show daddy some love by making a craft just for him. I just love how they turned out and daddy loved them too.
10 Father's Day Gifts Ideas Kids Love {special edition 10 things kids love}
When I had my first son I went all out for my husband for Father's Day, cards, gifts, decorations.... When my second son was born I put together a last minute gift and we got a card and made a few homemade pictures. This year now with 3 children under the age of 5yr I am not even sure we will get a card done,lol. But we really love daddy and he works hard to take care of us. So I have been searching for inspiration to try and make Father's Day wonderful for him. Since some creative and clever moms shared a few fun ideas with me for Father's Day, I wanted to take a minute to share them with you. Maybe you are looking for a little inspiration to make your man's Father's Day a little extra special too.

Happy Father's Day to a great daddy!
My husband is a wonderful daddy. It has been a heart warming experience to watch him over the years bond with our children. The love he has for them can be seen in his eyes. When big brother or little brother give him a hug or a kiss my husband lights up. And even if daddy is really tired after working a long week, he will still take the time to play. This is so special to my boys to spend time with him. And my husband wouldn't want to miss out on these moments he has with them either, even if hes tired. I love to step back and watch them play. It is a priceless experience. I love to hear him and my oldest 3 1/2 yr talk. Even if it is just about what to name the hot wheels they are playing with. One of their special bonding things is to ride to the gas station and get drinks and gummies. Love that they have their own thing. Our youngest is now 1yr and has stated to realize daddy has to leave for work and gets upset now:-( He has grown to love daddy very much over this last year. I love to watch him get his shoes almost every morning for daddy to take him outside! I look forward to all the heart warming moments they will have. And I know we will have those I want to pull my hair out at moments over the years too but we don't live in a fairy tale over here, lol. But I am so blessed to have a man that is such a great daddy to our boys. I thanks God for him and the role he plays in our lives.
I do wish all of you guys a very happy Father's Day, you all are so very important in your children's lives!!!

Simple last minute Father's Day gifts
I have not been feeling real creative or like gather craft supplies to make an awesome Father's Day gift this year. Pregnant and chasing a 1yr and 3 yr all day is getting to me these days I guess:-) How do you do it mom's? Ok, back to father's day gifts. I have just bought a few things for my husband this year and I had nothing for our dads as of today! So I decide to go simple for the men who have everything already. We took some pictures of the boys the other day and had them printed. I picked up some frames at our walmart here in town to put them in. I did order a cute picture something but it will be here late for the grands:-( I got mason jars and peanuts also. What I did was put peanuts in the jars. Then I printed out little tags: WE ARE NUTS FOR YOU DADDY! and just changed the end for grands. I cut them out with my scrap book scissors and tied on jar with yarn. I say whats wrong with simple and traditional. I think it all turned out cute and know they will enjoy it. These gifts would be great with a gift card add or etc...
Hope everyone has a Happy Father's Day with their guys!
