Father’s Day
Father’s Day seems to be one of the toughest times for me to think of a gift to give. My kid’s don’t have a Father around and so the only gift we purchase is usually for my dad.
The problem is that it’s so difficult shopping for him. He basically buys anything he needs when he needs it so we don’t ever know what to get him.

What to get Dad/Grandpa on Father’s Day?
Several years ago we decided to make a candy poster for my Dad on Father’s Day. My kid’s had so much fun with it and he loved it! We’ve actually made a few now over the last 10 years.
We tried to get the type of snacks that he likes and leaned towards healthier snacks we could find that might have names that fit into our poster. It was very simple to make and you can buy as many snacks as you want based on your budget and what your dad likes.
Our most recent candy poster
This is the poster my kids made this year. They are so proud of it.
Look Pop, U-no we think you are pure gold. You are knott real salty. Your one of a kind Excellence is the Riesen we figure you deserve a Bitohoney. That’s it!
Father’s Day Candy Board #2
Dang Pop, Your pure kindness leaves us moonstruck. You’re so strong it’s unreal. You’re the perfect grahampa for us and that’s the simple truth.
The kids first Father’s Day poster
My kids came up with the sayings on their own and it turned out great. They just spread out all of the snacks and wrote down a few ideas. After that they just wrote out the words to the poster on pieces of paper they cut out and glued/taped everything to the poster board.
Hey Pop, It’s not PayDay but it’s Father’s Day. We wouldn’t Cashew in for anything. Out of 100 Grandpa’s, you’re a perfect Fit. We don’t need another Riesen to chews you in a Snap. You never are a Jerk and would save us from a Clif in the Andes. You’re Zone Perfect and Kind and a BitOHoney. -your Raisinets
