Personalized Photo Frames
Photo frames are classic gifts that can be easily DIY'd. They're perfect for-showcasing memorable moments with your little one.
You can use colorful cardstock, washi tape, or even braid together dried Pretzels for a whimsical touch. Another idea is to create a 'footprint' frame using plaster.

origami crane mobile
Origami cranes are a symbol of peace and healing in Japanese culture. Creating an origami crane mobile can be a soothing activity to do with your baby girl while making a thoughtful gift for Dad.
Teach your -little one to fold paper while you create the cranes. Once you have a group, hang them from a mobile frame using varying lengths of string. Add a special touch by writing 'I love you' in your baby girl's language on each crane.
Handprint Artwork
It's not long before your baby girl's tiny hands and feet will be too big to keep as keepsakes. Capture these precious moments by creating handprint art.
Paint your baby girl's hand or foot, then have her press it onto canvas or paper. You can turn these prints into flowers, animals, or other cute figures. Frame the artwork or create a canvas to make a thoughtful Father's Day gift.
Baby's First Year Milestones
