FOR KIDS: HOMEMADE GIFTS FOR DAD
One way to show your love and appreciation for someone is by making something special just for them. Make a one-of-a-kind Father’s Day card featuring your dad or an amazing pop-up. Give dad a homemade wallet or tie keychain that he can carry with him to be reminded of how much you care.


FOR PARENTS: CELEBRATING FATHERS AND FATHER FIGURES
Father’s Day celebrates the love, support, and guidance that fathers and father figures give us every day. Whether they are sharing words of wisdom or lending a helping hand, show your appreciation with a family picnic and share these stories about amazing dads!

Who doesn’t love a picnic on a summer day? But do you know the science behind the food you eat? Check out PBS Learning Media for food science lessons from Serving Up Science. Or learn what makes us say “yuck!” or “yum!” when we eat certain foods. Food is fuel, and what better way to fuel up than with a meal together?
