It's time to organise Father's Day craft activities for the children so that they can give a gift handmade with love to their Dad. Here's how to do it the quick and easy way.
We've handpicked projects from around the web that will save educators planning time, can be quickly be prepared, will be fun, are budget friendly and are mostly made with items and supplies that you will already have available. And of course there's something for children of varying ages including babies.
