Dad will love this special book from his child. This book allows kids to think about the stuff they love about their dad and the things they like to do best. Then they color and practice writing to complete the templated pages. This book is an easy craft for kids, but is such a special gift that fathers will just love. All you have to do is print out the pages, cut them out and the kids fill in the rest. Attach together in the order you want and you have a great craft that makes a great present for dad. We have a Microsoft Word template version of the Dad and I book so you can even customize it to be exactly what you want.
