Crack Father's Day with these top tips
It's Father's Day on June 16th, how will you celebrate? Here are our top tips for showing your dad, grandad, guardian or father figure how much he means to you. We've got simple ideas and easy makes for every kind of Father's Day.
Pay him a compliment with a big shout-out
Whether it's for his sharp shirt and sweater vest combo or his wacky hairdo (or lack of), a compliment is always appreciated. Make Dad feel good by reminding him of his finer points.
Make him breakfast in bed
Remember that today is his day, and you can't beat the old favourite of breakfast in bed - even at 6am in the morning!
How about a breakfast to always remember? These awesome heart-shaped eggs are easy to make and will make any breakfast look special for Father's Day.
Make him smile with a classic from the Dad joke book
Perfecting the ultimate Dad joke takes time, skill and practice... fortunately, we have you covered! This Dad joke generator is (almost) scientifically proven to tickle that fatherly funny bone. Give it a try!
Get creative and make him something
Once he's recovered from the Dad joke generator, follow it up with something you've made especially. Need inspiration? How about making these Dad 'Rocks' cakes or design a suitably dadtastic superhero over at CBBC Creative Lab.
Plan an activity he will enjoy
If he's really into DIY, perhaps now is the time to reveal that vase you broke by accident. You could fix it together! Alternatively, a board game is an all-round winner.
Looking for something to play together? This Danger Mouse jigsaw collection is the perfect cross-generational treat. Dad will tell you how funny Danger Mouse was back in his day, and you can show him it's just as good today. Maybe start with the easy or medium levels, though - Dad's puzzle prowess might not be quite as he remembers.
Give him a day off
Father's Day probably isn't the day for demanding a lift or revealing that D you got on last week's test. Remember, there's always tomorrow to bombard him with 'tricky' problems.
Overall, make it a day for both of you - and a day you'll never forget!
