That time of year to celebrate Dad is quickly approaching. I searched Pinterest for Father's Day crafts and came across too many to share. My search was narrowed down to 10 crafts that range from toddlers to older children of which I chose two crafts to do with my children and slightly modified each. You are always free to modify these crafts based on your children's abilities. This cute Coolest Dad card was inspired by a craft I found on Pinterest. I modified it a bit and allowed my 3 year old to write the words. I wrote the words on a separate paper, had him copy it onto his card with a pencil. Last, he traced the pencil letters with a marker. This craft was inspired by Michael's craft store. My daughter who is 6 years old wanted to shorten the reasons why she loves her dad. I'm sure there are a thousand more reasons, but due to time constraints, we'll settle for 3 reasons. You may or may not have noticed something odd about the second sentence. You see, she is ending kindergarten in two weeks. All school year she was encourage to use her knowledge of letter sounds to spell words. Some words may come out the correct way, and others, well, they'll look like her version of the word 'movie'. In early childhood grades, phonetic spelling is totally encouraged, and I absolutely love it!
