It seems like Father’s Day always creeps up on me! Especially now that we have 3 kids, it seems like almost every month we are celebrating something. June is a big one for my husband as it’s his birthday, our anniversary and Father’s Day all with in a couple weeks of each other.
Like many one-income families I know, we try our best to live within our means. When it comes to gifts, a great way to stay within budget is making meaningful crafts, homemade pictures, videos, etc.
This year I made a super simple craft with our boys’ footprints:
I will say, I thought it would be much more difficult than it actually was, as the only other time I tried to get footprints C was 9 months old and I made something for our Mom’s for Mother’s Day. It was a HUGE mess, and hard to get a clean print. This time, surprisingly, all 3 boys cooperated, we used washable paint, and I was ready with wet paper towels and wipes. I also printed two copies and did each of their footprints twice (usually the second one comes out better) and then I chose the best over all one to frame.

The paint (Crayola 8-Ounce Primary Washable Fingerpaint (3 Count)) got everywhere (I let them paint a card for Daddy after ward), and when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere- table, walls, clothes. Thankfully, it wiped right off!
Something else I always do is take pictures with our boys holding up D-A- D. I then make a collage that spells Dad. I just keep the letter D and A I bought from Hobby Lobby in craft drawer and pull it out each year.
