Father’s Day is June 15!

The most special gifts from kids are the ones you can’t buy in the store. Kaboose has a great Father’s Day craft for kids. Using a thumbprint and paint, kids can make a custom mug for Dad. Go to Kaboose for the complete instructions.

To illustrate this post I thought it would be fun to throw in some random “Dad” photos from flickr. You can go to the links to see the products anyway.

All of the gift suggestions are either made from recycled materials or they help conserve or educate in some way. But don’t forget there’s nothing like a homemade meal and simply spending time together.
