Unique Inexpensive DIY Father’s Day Gifts from Kids to Dad

This DIY Father’s Day gift from kids contains 30 inexpensive ideas.  The FREE Father’s Day Printable include 30 inexpensive ideas for Dad in a “Book of Experiences to Celebrate Time with Dad”. There are 30 words, all verbs, all focused on “doing” rather than “spending”.  These words are included on each page of the Book of Experiences. Follow along day by day, or randomly choose your experience.

These gifts are not gifts of material but are gifts of time, of experience, and of presence. I purposely left the verbs open ended so that you may complete the phrase in any way that works for your family. You can make it as specific or as general as you wish.

• Print the DIY Book of Experiences Coupon Book Celebrating Dad FREE PRINTABLE on card stock
• Cut & Laminate (the latter is optional)
• Paper hole punch a small hole in the upper lefthand corner of each card
• Connect laminated cards with a book ring

Pretty simple, right? Here is the list:

I hope we inspired you today! Let me know about your father’s day gift!Marnie
