I could easily\u00a0remember everything I needed to do without a planner or calendar. I always arrived on time, and usually early. I never forgot important events and was often prepared way in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward four kids and whole lot of life later and I&#8217;m the exact opposite. I can&#8217;t seem to get anywhere on time, I&#8217;m always forgetting things and leaving things until the last minute.<\/p>\n<p>And while I&#8217;ve always loved creating one of a kind gifts, unique to the specific receiver, my time and patience for going above and beyond in\u00a0showing people how much I cared for them has also waned.<\/p>\n<p>But one place I&#8217;ve tried to stay on top of things is for Father&#8217;s Day. Hubby and I don&#8217;t usually do birthday or anniversary gifts and try to keep Christmas low key so Father&#8217;s Day is my one chance to go above and beyond for him. Plus, I&#8217;ve always tried\u00a0to do an easy Father&#8217;s Day gift that&#8217;s more from the kids than from me.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t mean, though, that I&#8217;m always good a planning ahead to get something done. In fact, I&#8217;ll admit that I&#8217;m usually throwing something together at what feels like the last minute (though he doesn&#8217;t usually know!) which is why I love this year&#8217;s kid-created, easy Father&#8217;s Day Gift: it can be easily completed at the last minute, in less than an afternoon and is almost completely kid made!<\/p>\n<h2>Last Minute, Kid Made, Easy Father&#8217;s Day Gift<\/h2>\n<h3>All you need:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 small picture mat for each child<\/li>\n<li>paint<\/li>\n<li>individual picture of each child<\/li>\n<li>some kind of frame\/display board<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3 easy steps for a last minute, kid made, easy Father&#8217;s Day gift:<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13133 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fathers-day-gift-painting-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"806\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fathers-day-gift-painting-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fathers-day-gift-painting-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fathers-day-gift-painting-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fathers-day-gift-painting-376x250.jpg 376w, https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/fathers-day-gift-painting-390x259.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 806px) 100vw, 806px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Have kids paint their individual mats however they want.<\/li>\n<li>Attach the kids&#8217; individual pictures to their painted mat.<\/li>\n<li>Put the mats onto\/into the frame or display board.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I found this completed frame with clips at my local craft store which, with its four openings, was perfect for our family.
