Kids will love getting creative to make this gift for Dad! Pose them in the letters: D.A.D., snap a few photos and frame in a photo collage frame. We used 5×7, but any size would work! This post contains affiliate links.
Does your dad like root beer? If so, he might like this fun root beer sampler gift! How about candy? You can make him a Father’s Day candy gram! This post was originally shared in 2012. These kids are all so big now!
I am just thrilled with how our gift for dad turned out! Since school is out, we’ve had all sorts of time to play and go places. We also had time to do a fun photo shoot in the back yard a couple of weeks ago! I had this idea for a framed photo gift for dad, but wasn’t sure how it would turn out. I didn’t want to force the kids into it and make it an awful ordeal, so I figured if it didn’t work we’d come up with something else, but they were so cooperative and seemed to have in the process!
D.A.D. Photo Gift For Dad
I’m not a photographer, but have fun taking pictures of my children. I used Pic Monkey to change my photos to black and white and do any editing.
I absolutely love how Ruby is rolling out of the pose to go get more grass to eat. If she was just laying there and not trying to roll around, it would have worried me 🙂
Such fun kids! We went simple with the clothing. White shirts, jeans, bare feet.
And it all came together! Michael’s usually has their frames for 50% off and even if they don’t, you can always find a coupon. I spent $9.00 on the frame and let the kids decorate the matte with a Sharpie.
Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
This is adorable! What a creative and totally personal gift. Great idea.

Such a lovely idea Brandy and I had to laugh when you said Ruby rolled out of the foto to eat more grass. So cute
How cute! And I have three kids, also, perfect!
That collage is adorable! My “kids” are in their 20’s now. I wonder if they’d do that. Haha (maybe…)
I am trying to figure out how to make the A as we only have 2 children. :/ hmmmmm
Hi Sherri, that would be a little tricky. Hmmm…I’m thinking maybe their arms could somehow be the center of the A? But that would require some limber little kids!
thats what i was thinking, maybe the arms. I will let you know how it goes. 🙂
I only have two also…gonna try making a happy fathers day sign to use as the straight line in D, their arms or legs in A, and their names on a sign as the line for the last D. 🙂 We’ll see how it turns out. 🙂
That’s a great idea! I’m sure it will turn out fantastic!!
I love this idea for a dad gift. I am so sharing with my daughters. I’ve also pinned it this morning so I don’t forget it.
It’s perfect! I’m sure their daddy will love it 🙂
