How Stuff Works.com has some Fathers Day craft ideas that you and Dad can do together. I especially like the "Dad's Keys" plaque. You take a wooden plaque, attached a couple screw hooks and decorate it for Dad. The little kids can decorate with markers and the older ones can use paint.

And if you can’t think of anything else to give dad. Just give him money. Bella Online has great instructions on turning 1 bill into a shirt.

New stuff to look forward to this summer starts off with Hanna Montana & High School Musical. These came through my email today but I can't really say they are a craft. More like an organizer. There are 6 different styles of Tin boxes with the popular tween idols all over them. Each retailing for 9.99.
And lastly believe it or not Halloween is coming. Col art has some great face paint sets starting at $3.49 to $19.99
Micro-Terrariums - $2.99
16 different plants in a mini egg
perfect for kids to learn about keeping
something alive.
BONUS:
This didn’t make it into the show. I completely forgot about a foam tie I created last year that is a photo frame that can be decorated. Click the picture for a FREE Pattern.
