Survival Kits
Daddy1. Decorate a small box with a picture collage from magazines or drawings and secure it with clear contact paper.
2. What goes inside? What does dad need to remember that you are thinking of him?
Dad needs a photo of you, maybe surrounded by a homemade frame.
He'll need a paper heart to remind him you care.
A Band-aid in case he needs some TLC
A Quarter or a Phone card so he can call home. (or ride the pony at the store)
A home made ID card with your fingerprints on it so he knows what kid he belongs to.
A drawing of you and him eating Mom's cookies together or some other activity you share.
A piece of paper,and a stamped,addressed envelope, to mail you a letter
A Hershey's kiss (or a lipstick print on paper)
A personal item such as a rock, if you and dad like to collect them, or a fish hook taped to a card...
A cassette tape, with you telling dad a bedtime story.
An I love you dad note in your best printing.
A tracing of your handprint with a piece of string glued around one of the fingers, and words that say "Don't forget, I'm thinking of you"
One of your small toys, like a small action figure or doll. So he can think about playing with you.
Things you can never find when you need them, a rubber band, a paper clip, a thumb tack, a safety pin...
3. Put everything inside the box, tie the box shut with a ribbon or a piece of yarn and label it "Dad's survival kit"
4. You may want to put your dad's name on it if he's going to be around a lot of other people called Dad too.
**This is an excellent way for young children to express what they feel dad needs from them and by decorating the box on the outside, it becomes a special piece of artwork from the heart.
Daddy's Diaper Doo Kit/Belt This kit can be customized to suit your favorite Dad, Grand-dad, Uncle or Big Brother
To get started here are some suggestions:
Tool/Nail apron( waist or bib style)
( These are found in Home Building Warehouses or at your Discount Super Store)
...baby powder
...diapers
... Diaper changing apparatus (Clothespin)
...diaper cream
...diaper pins
...diaper wipes
...disposable changing pad
...disposable scented diaper bags
.... Early morning sleeping aid (ear plugs) "I didn't hear the baby at 2:00!!
... Feeding set(spoon and bib)
...gloves
...goggles
... Goo and Poo remover (Wipe)
...hand sanitizer
... I love my Daddy Bib
... List of local phone numbers for advice (911 should be first, poison control, pharmacist, Aunt Sue, Mom, Sis, etc...)
...nose clip - clothespin; 'air freshener'
...rattle/small stuffed anima/teether(for distraction purposes)
...Tongs can be fun too
...The world's best Dad medal
... Weekly allowance "only a dollar...get used to it" (dollar bill)
Oh the list could go on and on and just use your imagination. Now if you want to stencil something on the front of this belt you need to do so and let it dry for at least 24-48 hours. I use " Daddy's Doo Kit", "Daddy's got to Doo Kit"
"Daddy's got a Doo Doo Kit"
Or use your imagination....
Now the best thing to do is lay the belt out flat and fill it from the back to the front using of course the tallest things in the back. Pin the diaper pins on the front and if you do add the "World's greatest Dad" medal also pin that to the front. It's also easiest to put into a box that can be easily passed around and lifted up to show your gift, because everyone will want to see it.
Daddy's Nappy Doo Doo Kit
By Shirley T.
First clip the clothes pin to your nose...
This is just the beginning of your woes!
Carefully pull on each surgical glove.
Remember you do this out of love!
Don the goggles and you're ready,
Oh, the things you do as a new daddy!
With tongs & nappy, head for the trash
Setting a new record for the 3-yard dash!
Now those wipes will come in handy...
Just a few good swipes and all is dandy.
Then sprinkle on a little smelly powder
And you just couldn't be any prouder!
Oops!...Hurry and cover that little tush
Before you have a fountain gush!
And now your reward is one of bliss...
A great big slobbery hug and kiss!

...Easter basket:
Easter basket
Little Lord Jesus, first bed was of hay,
Some Easter grass we're using today.
A bag of coins - betrayal of Christ,
Judas betrayed; paid for that tryst.
Chocolate rooster shows Peter debased;
3 times denial, he looked in Christ's face.
Basket is woven together with thorn
To symbolize the crown Jesus had worn.
A hollow egg shell for the tomb that is bare,
Yes! Jesus arose - He Lives! But NOT there!
Marshmallow bunnies, a soft yellow chick,
New life & a new birth - He wants us to pick.
Some foil-covered eggs like streets, shiny gold
Streets like in Heaven where no one grows old.
Our Jesus lives there, inviting us too,
mansions He's building for me & for you.
The Easter basket, symbolic today
Story of Jesus, to show us the way.

Family Historian
As a Family Historian, you are a "life saver" for your family's priceless photographs. Don't be a 'sucker' & let those precious pictures lay around & gather dust. You understand that we MUST preserve the past, enrich the present & inspire hope for the future. It requires commit'mint'! Turning those 'mounds' of photos into creative albums is nothing to 'snicker' about. Put forth the 'extra' effort in your plan, which will result in lots of 'hugs' & 'kisses' from those you love most - YOUR FAMILY!!
