For Father’s Day have your child help make breakfast in bed for dad. Bring along the newspaper or his favorite magazine if he likes that. Also, bring a deck of cards. Have Dad pick a card. (Discuss before hand with child what they’re willing to do for Dad and let them decide what suit will equal what.)
Example: If Dad picks up a diamond your child will do one of his chores that they’re able to do. If their dad picks a spade the child will shine one pair of his shoes or something else. If Dad picks a club then child will not bother Dad for two hours while he’s watching his favorite sports game on TV or something similar. If Dad picks up an ace your child will wash his car. If King of Aces is picked it can be something extra special.

Arts and Craft: Easy Father's Day Gift
Super simple Father’s Day gift.
Find a rock the size of a fist. Have your child paint it. They can paint designs on it or squiggles. They can paint Dad’s face or a smiley face on one side. On the other side they can write, “#1 Dad” or “Super Dad.” The rock can be a paper weight or door stopper. Whatever your child chooses it to be the painted rock makes a nice gift for Dad for Father's Day.

Arts and Craft Time
Father's Day Craft: Place Mat.
Note: You'll need to find a store that has a laminating machine. Call school supplies stores and if that fails call craft shops.
Items needed: Colored construction paper, markers, stickers, scissors, glue, picture of child with dad. Optional: Child friendly ink pad. Have them wash hand immediately after using pad.
On a piece of construction paper about the size of a place mat have your child paint or draw a picture of their dad. Next to it have them draw a heart, or below it write a personal message (I love you Dad. Thanks for taking time to play baseball with me. Or: World's Best Dad…). Your child can also cut out designs (bowling balls/baseball/tie…) from colored construction paper. Place along top and bottom of mat. Funny/smiley stickers can be added, or your child can put their hand print in a corner. A nice touch is gluing a picture or two of your child and their dad on the mat as well.
You can also create a theme mat. If your husband is a football fan, have your child draw a picture of their dad scoring a touch down. Put stickers of football helmets around edges of mat. Glue a picture of your child playing football with their dad on the mat underneath handmade picture.
When done making mat, take place it to a store for it to be laminated (plastic coating on front and back). The plastic coating makes it easy to wipe crumbles and coffee off of it.
