Last minute Father's Day DIY gift

Handmade gifts from your kids are always special. The way they start to think what the other likes, what color should be used, what would make him or her happy is always melting my heart 😊

We like pretty much preparing small DIY gifts for family birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day... However I prefer to avoid overcomplicating it - honestly some first really nice ideas turned out fast that it will be Mum finishing the job 😅

So now I focus on what my daughter can do by herself, and just give the materials and the hints needed. Even if the project is not exaaaactly you would see it on Pinterest, it is something she put together with all her love and enthusiasm. So I think absolutely worth it 😊

If your kid is old enough for grabbing a crayon, a small DIY coloring book with some nice quotes could become a perfect little handmade gift for Father's Day!
