Not computer crafts though but I did not know where else to put this, and thought someone could use a few ideas that I found..
Child's Hand Print
Mix 1/2 cup salt, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl; when mixed add 1 cup white flour and knead well.
Form dough into a softball-sized shape and roll out with a rolling pin. Press your child's hand into the clay (with fingers spread).
Bake at 250 degrees F. for several hours. After it's cooled your child can paint her handprint using acrylic paint. Label the handprint with your child's name, age, year the handprint was created, etc. You can also etch into the clay before baking something like "Hands down best Dad", "Handy Dad", etc.
Creative Placemats
Have your child draw a picture, color a design, or write a poem to dad on a heavy piece of 8 1/2" x 11" cardboard. Place the finished product between two sheets of clear contact paper. Use the placemat to serve dad his next meal, maybe Father's Day breakfast in bed.
Photo Cube
Take 6 3 1/2" floppy disks. Lay one disk face down and glue four disks (one disk to each side) and glue the last disk on the top to make a box. Cut 5 pieces of construction paper so they fit on the floppy disk, leaving the metal at the bottom exposed. Cut out 5 photographs of family members so they are the same size as the construction paper. Use double-stick tape to attach one picture to each piece of construction paper and then use the double-stick tape to tape one picutre onto each side and onto the top floppy. This makes a nice gift for dad to have on his desk at work.
Decorate a basket and then fill it with stuff that your dad would like. If dad's a chocolate fan, fill the basket with Hershey Kisses, homemade Brownies, chocolate cookies, small candy bars, small bags of M&M's, etc. If your father's a gardener you could fill it with seeds, hand tools, plant markers, etc. Try to think of what dad likes the most and then fill the basket with stuff related to it.
I like the hand print one, gonna give it a go tomorrow or next week - I am a new SAHM...
