Kid Made Father's Day Gifts * Moms and Crafters

Give Dad a handmade gift that he will actually use! These 13 kid made Father’s Day gifts are fun… and totally functional too!

I wanted to put together a collection of Father’s Day gifts that Dad can really use, and will love. While not all of these are actually kid-made, all of them can be done by children (some of them by older children.)

For your convenience, I’ve split it up into “little kids” (under eight years old) and “big kids” (8 and older). Of course, it depends on the child, and some big children may need help regardless with certain parts. In any case, these gifts were chosen for “do-ability” and functionality.

Functional DIY Father’s Day Gifts that little kids can make:

While most of these DO require some adult input, you’ll find that kids will take such pride in contributing to a gift that Dad will really and truly love.
