No. 1 Dad Trophy

Father's Day is a week away. Father's Day falls on the 3rd Sunday of June. This means that this year 2012, Father's Day will fall on 17th June, 2012. That is usually around my birthday so I sometimes get to celebrate in a big way with all the members of my family who are Fathers. This year for Father's Day, the kids and I designed a No 1 Dad Trophy, Happy Father's Day Card or design for our CafePress Shop.

It is really nice to have the kids home for the holidays and to be able to do creative things together with the kids. Apart from this #1 Dad trophy design, we also printed out printable Father's Day Greeting Cards and Father's Day Bookmarks to make for dad. I encouraged the kids to write poems in their card for dad. I wonder what they wrote.

Designing Cards help them to be creative while writing poems on the cards help them learn the English language in an interesting and fun manner. In school, all they learn is Chinese. Their English is so neglected. Well, that is the down side of sending the kids to a Chinese School. As a parent, I have to make sure that I balance it up by teaching them English myself. It is not easy with what little time we have after school. School holidays is the best time to learn by doing fun projects like this No 1 Dad Trophy design for cards, mugs, T-shirts, buttons and more.

Kids can design too. The kids were so thrilled to see their design on mugs, hats, calendars, notebooks, T-shirts and more.
