Father’s Day gifts from toddlers are just the best. And with these 20 ideas, your child will be so proud to give their handmade present to Dad or Grandpa.

When my kids were in daycare, Father’s Day gifts were easy – mostly because the caregivers had something adorable planned that I never would have thought of myself.

These days my toddler stays home and none of our kids are in school to make Father’s Day gifts either. The older two are happy enough drawing a card or making a craft, but the toddler is always the hardest one to figure out.

So it seemed like a good time to pull together a list of Father’s Day gifts from toddlers that are easy enough to do together, but also sweet and sentimental. With just the right mix of DIY and semi-homemade options, the perfect gift is sure to be here.

Don’t forget to grab your free printable Father’s Day tags while you’re here, so you’ll be 100% set!

Love You to Pieces Father's Day Gift

Our oldest first made this frame for my husband when she was 3, and it's long been one of the most creative crafts we've seen.

The printable is cute enough on its own, but here's how you make it even more special:

Simply grab a crafting frame, a few pieces from a puzzle with too many pieces missing (you know you have one), and some paint. Then let your child go to town. (Don't forget the smock)

Once everything's dry, add the printable to the frame and then glue the puzzle pieces to the frame. So cute!
