Copy two garden gloves to make into a funny coupon book. Written on the cover is "I Want to Give My Dad a Hand! The children can write a personal message on the inside of the front cover glove. Have the children lick and seal a letter sized envelope. Cut it off abut halfway down to make a pocket to hold the coupons. Glue the envelope to the back cover glove. Insert the coupons. Staple the gloves together at the wrist area to make it into a card. The coupons were copied from an actual card. They say things such as Good for One Breakfast in Bed and Good for 15 Uninterrupted Minutes in the Bathroom. These patterns may need to be enlarged slightly.

Have children put their handprints in paint on a pillowcase. Use a T-shirt transfer to iron this poem on the pillowcase.

So here are two of my handprints On this pillowcase to stay and show you how my fingers looked This year on Father's Day. 2003
