Dad is your kids' best T-ball coach, and he uses the funniest voices for bedtime stories. You know they appreciate his willingness to teach them how to throw a curveball, bait a hook or help with homework, but they may be stumped about how to show it. Help them make a personalized bookmark that reflects their shared interests—it's sure to be a big hit with Dad this Father’s Day. (You could also use this idea to try making a fish, golf bag or telescope bookmark if it would suit Dad better.)

MATERIALS
Paper (brown, white)
Scissors
Stickers
Markers
Double-sided tape

1. Help your child cut a baseball bat shape from brown paper and apply sticker strips to the handle.
2. Create a baseball by cutting a circle from white paper and using a red marker to draw stitching.
3. Use double-sided tape to adhere the ball to the bat (extra tape creates dimension).
4. Add a simple message.
5. Tuck it into a new book that Dad and your child could read together.
