    We're filling little glass jars with Reese's Pieces and tying a ribbon around the lid. I'll have the little ones watercolour some paper to match the colours of the candy and make a tag out of it.

    Ugh lol. No idea. It's hard because I have one family that has been here for years - I have their 3rd kid here - had the 2 oldest girls. That is a lot of Father's Day crafts sent home to the same family and I try and do something different every year! I guess I should head to Pinterest to see what I can find

    Same issue as mickyc, it's hard not to repeat ideas over the years!

    This year we are doing their handprints on a pair of adult men's gloves with a cute little poem and a dad survey.

    In years past we've done handprints on baseballs/bats, golf balls/cubs, BBQ rub and sauce, Candy jars, fishing themed, painted hammers

    I also struggle because I don't want to buy something for a gift. It shouldn't cost me more than I spend on my husband (which isn't much as money is tight around here). My crew is young this year so not a whole lot they can do. 2 littles which usually means handprint/footprint craft lol. Ah well. I don't put too much stress on these occasions

    Oops! Forgot to say that the tag on the little jars of Reese's Pieces will say "I love you to pieces!"

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
