Homemade Christmas presents for dads?
 
My sister, who teaches 3rd and 4th grade, is completely stumped this year for an original idea for her kids to make as christmas gifts for their fathers. Moms are EASY...but dads are more difficult. The requirements: must cost less than $1. per kid to make, must be do-able by 7 to 10 year olds, must not take any "dangerous" tools, should be completed in an hour or so. The moms this year are getting glass bead and memory wire bracelets, with nice beads. But the dads are gonna get shortchanged Homemade Christmas presents for dads? What's the best thing your kid ever made you, or you ever made for your dad?
 
 
I think many of the large arts-and-crafts stores sell bulk lots of various items, precisely intended for class (or camp) projects. What I was thinking of for dad-presents, though, was bolo ties. The basic metal slider and imitation-leather "thong" should be pretty cheap, and then get some assorted "stones" of the appropriate size and shape for the kids to glue in place. believe it ot not - an ashtray. That said, a bracelet works well for Dad, too...
