These coasters are super easy to make and the customization options are limitless. Let your kids go crazy painting them, put a D on them for “Dad” or even write “Best Dad Ever.”

Why not get the kids in the kitchen and mix up a delicious spice rub that dad can use to grill his favorite meat? Mix it up and put it in a pretty jar – done!

This would be a HUGE surprise for dad but would involve a bigger investment. First, just hang a white sheet in your backyard. You can get fancy and sew a seam and hang it from a suspended dowel, or go a simpler route and just pin the sheet to a clothesline strung between two trees. Surprise dad with a projector (much more affordable than they used to be) and voila – backyard movie theater!

Tip: Use tent stakes to tack the bottom of the sheet to the ground to make sure it stays taut if it gets windy.

Which of these projects do you think you’ll make? Tell us in the comments.
