    Fathers Day craft great idea!

    Choo choo massage shirt! Basically, it's train tracks drawn on the back of one of Dads Tshirts & the kids drive their trains over the tracks giving Dad a back massage. Here is the link...http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2012/...e-t-shirt.html

    I bought little wooden treasure chests at the dollar store and the children painted them. Then we pasted the children's pictures inside the bottom of the chest and put scrunched up bits of gold paper over the pictures. Then we put in a little card that says 'Aaaaargh, pirate Daddy, enjoy your treasure chest filled with gold nuggets but look closely to find your greatest treasure ever, Love ......"

    A couple of years ago I had the Moms provide white tshirts and we put handprints on the front with fabric paint and I wrote #1 Dad Hands Down. Then we put the children's footprints on the back and I wrote 'Dad lets me walk all over him.' Those were a huge hit.

    awesome ideas!!! Any tips on successful footprints/handprints on T-shirts where there's less margin for error (not that I'm expecting perfection at all...but hopefully not one big unrecognizeable smudge)?

    I would say make sure the tshirt is pulled tightly in 4 corners to prevent (many) smudges lol

    Dream, I stretched the tshirt over a really big book so that it didn't go through to the other side and put it on the floor. I had the paint in a pieplate beside the tshirt and had the child hold onto my kitchen cupboards while I manipulated their feet from the paint to the tshirt to the soapy water bucket all side by side. You have to also make sure you just have a nice little smooth layer of paint so you get smooth coverage. I did some test runs on some paper before we did the tshirt.

    Painting the hands and feet works well too but the patience level of the children is something you have to consider because that takes longer.
