Crafts & Activities

Dad's Litter Bag
Give dad a handy litterbag for his car! Draw a picture or design on a paper bag or lunch sack. Use markers, fabric scraps, glitter, paper, tissue or whatever you have on hand! Cut aring from a plastic six-pack drink holder and glue it to the back of the bag for a handle.

Door Messages for Dads
You will need a 4.5" X 12" sheet of construction paper (or cardstock) for each child; you can do the next step ahead of time for younger children - have them fold their paper lengthwise in half. Cut a half circle about three inches from the top. Unfold the paper and make a diagonal cut ending at the circular cutout. Decorate the door hangers as desired with paper scraps, glitter, markers, etc.


Songs, Finer Plays & Nursery Rhymes

Michael Finnegan
There was a man named Michael Finnegan.
He grew long whiskers on his chin-igan
A wind came up and blew then in again.
Poor olf Michael Finnegan. Begin again.

Hush Little Baby
Hush little baby, don't say a word,
Daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird;
If that mocking bird don't sing,
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring;
If that diamond ring is brass,
Daddy's gonna buy you a lookin' glass;
If that looking glass gets broke,
Daddy's gonna buy you a billy goat;
If that billy goat don't pull,
Daddy's gonna buy you a cart and bull;
If that cart and bull turn over,
Daddy's gonna buy you a dog named Rover;
If that dog named Rover don't bark,
Daddy's gonna buy you a horse and cart;
If that horse and cart break down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

The Bent-Over Man
I'm a bent over, bent over, bent over man,
I try to stand just as straight as I can,
But ll i can do is bend and bend,
Because I'm a bent over, bent over, bent over man

Additional verses:
I'm a wiggly, wiggly wiggly, man
(....bouncy; swaying; stooping; twirling; jumping; hopping)
