Dad is usually perceived by children as the headkind, an indisputable authority and a fair judge in different life situations. It is he who is able to honestly and without unnecessary sentimentality point out our mistakes and failures. And restrained daddy's praise can give self-confidence to any child. We must not forget that for a son, a father is an example of masculinity, and for a daughter, his behavior model forms the image of a future chosen one for the role of a spouse. In addition, children consider a truly good dad their best friend, who will always provide help and support in time, help to cope with problems and difficulties. Therefore, Father's Birthday is a very important event in the life of any happy family. A few weeks before the upcoming celebration, all its members are seized by pre-holiday fever and a lot of questions arise about where to celebrate this day, how to make it interesting for the father, what to cook and, of course, what gift can not only please, but also surprise the birthday boy.
What can a baby give?
Indeed, so that dad's birthday is alwayswas an original and fun event, much depends on the ingenuity and imagination of the mother. And these qualities need to be developed in children from an early age. Do not think that a baby under one year old cannot make his contribution to the holiday. Of course, full participation will not work, but with mom's help it is still possible to give dad your personal sign of attention. For example, if he is interested in football, like most men, you can buy him a ball and use your imagination to make it unusual. Dip the child's palms in paint and make prints on the white parts of the ball, then write your wishes or the most valuable qualities of dad on each with a marker. The husband will definitely appreciate such joint creativity of the wife and beloved baby as a birthday greeting. Alternatively, you can buy dad an ordinary hammer as a gift and, together with a one-year-old child, also give it some originality. To do this, the baby needs to leave traces of his hands on its wooden part, dipping his palms in paint. And you cover the handle with varnish. It is quite possible that dad will not use such a hammer, but its cheerful appearance in the toolbox will always be able to give him a fleeting joy. If the child is older, then you can involve him in creating a festive mood for dad. A great solution for this would be balloons. Let there be a lot of them, and on each you can write or draw a funny message for the birthday boy using a marker. Let the kid draw cute scribbles with an inept pen, because drawing on colorful balloons is a very fun and unusual activity. Or let the child leave prints of his palms on them - he will definitely like it. If your children have already grown up so much that they can draw a little and handle scissors, help them make a picture or applique for dad for his birthday. An interesting option would be to use plasticine. To do this, you need to draw a simple sketch with a black marker, for example, a mushroom in the grass or a flower in a vase. Of course, the picture can be more complex - it all depends on mom's talent. But even if you can't draw at all, this is not a problem today. You can take a children's coloring book and carefully cut out the image you like from it. Then you need to stick it on a bright sheet of cardboard to get the effect of a picture in a frame. And then let your child use plasticine to turn the black and white picture into a colored and three-dimensional one. Such a gift, made with your own hands, will definitely please dad on his birthday.
Gifts for dad from school children
Young schoolchildren, as a rule, already know howmake excellent homemade cards. Surely, you have already received such items of their creativity more than once on the occasion of March 8 or another holiday. So why not make the same gift for dad with their own hands? Of course, a card for his birthday should be especially festive and elegant. You can help with the idea, but leave its implementation entirely to the child. Perhaps the original approach and imagination shown by your son or daughter will be a very pleasant surprise for you and the birthday boy. Also, a school-age child is quite capable of making and giving dad a beautiful bookmark for his birthday, for example, in the shape of a tie. Do not be upset if the child is not particularly fond of drawing or making things with his own hands. You can captivate him with this activity with the help of an interesting idea. For example, you have already bought a ready-made gift for the birthday boy and hid it in a secluded place. Ask your son or daughter to draw a map with the help of which dad will have to find the thing intended for him as a congratulation. You can go an even more unconventional route and suggest making an unusual holiday Collage of Wishes with your own hands and giving it as a present for Dad's birthday. To do this, discuss where exactly your child would like to visit with his father during the year before his next birthday, and what they could do together. Then find pictures in old magazines that will symbolize these places. Let the child cut them out and glue them in any shape onto a large sheet of thick paper. The pictures can be arranged according to the seasons, for example, combine all the activities that correspond to the winter, summer, autumn and spring periods. This way, the child will be able not only to make an interesting and unusual gift for dad with his own hands, but also to tell about unfulfilled desires that he did not dare to say out loud. As a result, the father will receive not just an interesting congratulation, but also a ready-made plan for spending time together with the child. If your child is interested in some kind of creativity, this can also be used to give dad original surprises for his birthday. Young artists will certainly be able to draw a portrait of their father or a beautiful landscape. Those children who are learning pottery and modeling will be able to make an original and unique souvenir cup or a painted decorative plate with their own hands. Little musicians can be advised to give their dad a small concert in his honor for his birthday, learning a couple of new simple pieces especially for this.
Adult children and their man-made gifts
Try to make sure that children, even when they becomeadults, have not lost interest in homemade things and are not lazy to spend time making them to give to their father. A daughter, in memory of past hobbies, can knit a beautiful scarf, socks and mittens for her dad with her own hands or sew an original wall organizer for his little things (lighters, combs, scissors, phone book, glasses, and so on). You can invite her to take part in preparing the holiday menu, entrusting her with baking and decorating the birthday cake. An adult son is quite capable of making shelves for dad's books, magazines or disks. If your father likes to spend time at the dacha, involve the children in creating an unusual place for him to relax with their own hands. Let it be a surprise for dad on his birthday. To do this, you can sew or weave and hang a hammock with your own hands, be sure to make a small pillow in it or even knit a warm cozy blanket, knock together a small table and arrange everything as an oasis where dad will be pleased to drink coffee and read. You can use old tires for decoration or make a palm tree from plastic bottles. Such original things and objects made with your own hands will become additional proof of filial and filial love, because a lot of time and imagination was spent on them. It is best if you yourself set an example of how important it is to make gifts with your own hands. After all, you also have a beloved and dear dad who, just like in your childhood, enjoys signs of attention on his birthday. Therefore, do not forget that a smart sweater or a warm vest knitted by you is sometimes better than another thing from the store. You can also give dad painted glasses or a glass frame for a mirror, even if you have to master the basics of stained glass painting for this. You can also make original candlesticks from low glasses by gluing shards of multi-colored glass to them. Of course, you will have to tinker with it, but such gifts for dad's birthday will be truly priceless. You can embroider a panel with your own hands, or make a large artistic picture using pieces of leather or painted eggshells. If you know how to sew, try making designer covers for your father's car or a doll-amulet, which will become a talisman for dad and protection from the evil eye.
Homemade Symbolic Gifts
And if your father has an anniversary soon, then you are obligedсделать ему не просто ценный подарок, а преподнести такую вещь, которая станет символом любви и уважения к возрасту и статусу. Очень хорошей идеей может послужить создание своими руками большого фамильного альбома. Дело это сложное и кропотливое, однако и получившийся в результате подарок вполне заслужит того, чтобы занять место настоящей семейной реликвии. Здесь вам поможет такое направление, как скрапбукинг. Этот вид мастерства как раз и направлен на создание посредством фотографий, рисунков и картинок целой истории жизни главы рода, которым является ваш отец. Чтобы подарить подобную вещь, необходим качественный большой альбом с плотными листами. Его нужно заполнить фотографиями юбиляра и красивыми тематическими изображениями в хронологическом порядке, начиная от детских и до фото нынешних дней. Если у вас есть способности к литературному изложению мыслей, то можно включить в альбом и небольшие рассказы, характеризующие те или иные моменты жизни вашего папы. Такой подарок, выполненный своими руками, вызовет не только интерес самого юбиляра, но и сделает его центром внимания всех гостей. Еще одним символичным поздравлением на День рождения или юбилей папы могут стать обычные детские кубики, вернее, они послужат прекрасной основой для этого. Найдите шесть общих фотографий вашего отца и вас, лучше те, которые были сделаны в детские годы. Разрежьте их на шесть частей и приклейте на кубики таким образом, чтобы можно было, правильно соединив стороны, сложить целую картинку. Попробуйте составить и подарить папе на юбилей необычный Кроссворд Воспоминаний. В качестве зашифрованных слов подойдут ваши детские домашние прозвища, места совместного отдыха, слова, которые вы смешно коверкали, будучи ребенком. Оформите такой кроссворд на большом листе ватмана, сделайте его ярким и веселым, снабдите фотографиями и даже собственными детскими рисунками, если они сохранились до сих пор. Такой подарок создаст не просто хорошее настроение отцу на юбилей. Вы своими руками дадите ему возможность на мгновение окунуться в молодость, а это значит немало и стоит очень дорого. Но даже если вы уже купили любимому папе на День рождения готовый подарок, будь то телефон, фотоаппарат или тонометр, не поленитесь и придайте ему оригинальность путем сделанной своими руками красивой праздничной упаковки и авторской открытки. Для этого можно взять две коробки разной величины, чтобы одну вложить в другую. Обтяните их подарочной бумагой и закрепите ее скотчем. В меньшую коробку вложите сам подарок, а в большую — открытку. Так вы сумеете подарить действительно интригующее и яркое поздравление. Не забывайте, что даже самая банальная вещь в руках того, кто может и хочет творить, способна стать неповторимым подарком для родного человека не только на День рождения, то и на любой другой праздник. Для этого нужно лишь проявить фантазию и нетривиальный творческий подход. В последнее время вещи hand-made, то есть выполненные собственными руками, обретают все большую популярность. Появилось много новых техник изготовления авторских поделок. Если вы еще не освоили ни одной, то предстоящий День рождения папы может стать для этого хорошим поводом. А если вы уже успешно делаете своими руками интересные и необычные вещицы, то используйте свое мастерство, чтобы подарить радость любимым и близким людям. Не бойтесь быть оригинальной и учите этому своих детей! Советуем почитать:
