Father’s Day is coming. You and your court can make Pop feel like royalty with these sweet, simple suggestions:
- Designate a special “throne.” Put a cushion and a “King Dad” sign on a kitchen chair, or drape a pretty piece of fabric over the recliner (purple traditionally signifies royalty).
- Craft a crown to suit his style. If he’s a sports nut, have your kids decorate a blank baseball cap with fabric pens or paint. If he’s into cooking, use a chef’s hat.
- Play jester. Kids can dress up in silly costumes and tell jokes, perform comedy skits, or march around playing instruments.
- Do Dad’s bidding. Whatever he says goes.
- Design a coat of arms. Each royal family has one to represent its history and values. What’s important to you? Hang it proudly in the kitchen or on the front door.
