Easy DIY Dad/Grandpa Gift
"Dada's Little Helper" Gloves
Last week was my husband’s birthday and lately he has really been stepping up his DIY building game! Just a few of his recent projects include a fully built shed, an under the stairs room for our pup, an owl box, and making my master bedroom remodel come true! So I thought the perfect DIY present from our little guy this year would be these adorable work gloves.
Supplies
Work gloves (any kind)
Washable paint (any color)
Brushes
Sharpie or paint pen
Trash bag or plastic table cloth
Prep
I prepped our space by simply taping a trash bag to the counter where his toddler tower was. I was ready to go with wipes and a magic eraser for the counter. And we were right by the sink so we could quickly wash his hand each time.
Of course, you can do this craft outside, I just find if you catch a windy day, it can be hard to hold onto your supplies.
How to
Paint your little one’s hand in whatever color you’ve chosen
Carefully press their hand onto the inside of the glove making their handprint
Let dry
Go back in with a sharpie or paint pen to write on each finger “Dada’s little helper” with the year
You can sign their name at the bottom if you’d like
Wrap it up to give a heartwarming gift
Final Thoughts
This craft was so super simple and turned out adorable. Even if his handprint wasn’t perfect, it’s still just as adorable! My husband loved the gift and has them hanging in the garage! This gift can work for really anyone in your life who loves working with their hands.
