Our Dad’s do lots of amazing things! They are incredible and strong people who do whatever they can to help us! Father’s Day is on Sunday June 21st and while you may do something special this day or if you spread it out and do special things for your Dad every day, today I would like you to do one of the following:
-Make a card for your Dad. It doesn’t have to be anything super fancy, but of course, if you would like to make it fancy go for it! Make sure you write Dad or whatever you call him at the top. Write a message to him. Think about what he does for you, what you can say thank you for, why he is special to you, what you like to do with him… Write who the card is from at the bottom! You can write From: or Love: …. Draw a picture and decorate!
-Write a letter to your Dad and write about what he means to you! Why is he special? What makes him a great Dad? What do you love about him? What does he do that makes you happy?
Here are some stories that you might want to listen to about Dads!
“When Dad’s Don’t Grow Up”-Marjorie Blain Parker
This book is a celebration of Dads who remember what it’s like to be little and who have fun with their kids! Video
“Jabari Jumps”-Gaia Cornwall
This book is about a boy, Jabari, who wants to jump off the high diving board at the pool. This story is about overcoming your fears and highlights a moment between a reassuring Dad and his determined son. Video
*You do not need to submit a photo of your child’s card or letter for Father’s Day as some kids like to keep it private because it’s so special!
Here is an example with some sentence starters if you need them!
To: Dad
Thank you for everything you do for me. I love that we…..
You are special to me because….
Happy Father’s Day!
I love you.
