Father's Day is around the corner in June. It's always a good time to try making some home made gifts instead of the traditional tie. Which father wouldn't appreciate a gift, however shabby, made by their own kid? Kids like to make things, and the messier it is the better!

Here are two ideas we have shortlisted:
1. A Terrarium
The word might sound big and complicated but it's just a few plants in a nice looking container. If you are not into gardening, get the kids to make a fake one. Here are a few ideas for faux terrariums. This will help kids explore their creativity and they can also explore soil and plants which will increase their Vitamin Nature quotient. Father's will love this unusual gift and its very low maintenance.
2. Collage
This requires some stealth. Collect pictures of the father from childhood. Get photocopies of the images. Then get the kids to arrange them on card paper (size of their choice). Once they are satisfied, stick them on. On Father's Day, surprise him with memories from his entire life!
Both these gifts need some help from the other parent or any other adult. Once complete, keep it hidden away and surprise Dad on June 18th. Have a blast!
