Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the dads, fathers, papa’s, grandpas, grandfathers and generally great men that play important roles in our children’s lives. When working on gift ideas for both my dad and my husband, I try to think outside the box for at least one of their gifts to come up with something personalized and meaningful. This year, we are welcoming baby #4 into our family just prior to Father’s Day, and so our summer will be busier than usual. My husband plans to help by spending time with our older children outside of the house so I can rest with baby girl! So, I thought this idea of creating memory blocks, aka a summer bucket list of ideas that he could do with the kids would be perfect!
DIY Building Memories Father’s Day Gift
To create your own Building Memories kit, brainstorm to come up with 20-30 fun ideas that daddy could do with the kiddos. Our children are kindergarten age and under, so some of our ideas included:
- Roast S’mores
- Visit a Local Splashpad
- Water Balloon Fights
- Make Popsicles
- Plant something
- Make Something
- Movie Date
- Scavenger Hunt
- Read a Book
- Play a Boardgame
- Complete a Puzzle
- Go on a Walk/Hike
- Build a Fort
The list of possible ideas for this memories kit are literally endless. Choose ideas that represent your family’s interests and hobbies for the best overall summer experience.
Once you have your list of ideas, write them onto the Lego building block sides using a permanent market. Fill your container of choice with the personalized building blocks. Then, add our fun, colorful and FREE printable tag available below to complete your gift.
