Fun Father's Day Gifts!

Awwww! What nice things we think about our dads!
We have been busy making some fun things for Father's Day. I discovered a way to make "scratch tickets" on a neat site called pinterest. I decided this would be a super cool idea to incorporate into a card for Father's Day. So I made up some templates, the students brainstormed words to describe their dads, then wrote the words with a thin sharpie on the cards. One day during lunch, I went and got the papers laminated so that we could work our magic! We used a mixture of silver acrylic paint and dish soap to paint over our words so that the dads could scratch the paint off to reveal all the wonderful things their child thinks about them!


This week, the students had a surprise snack of canned peaches . . . we cleaned out the tins and made our own labels, then filled the tins with some candy and sealed up the bottom of the tins. This is the trick! Then, the dads can "pop the top" to enjoy the treats inside!
