For Father’s Day this year, we thought it would be fun to offer you a couple of special things, printables and quotes. You see, holidays don’t have to be about expensive, store bought gifts or even fancy, elaborate meals. They can be simple and fun. They can involve the kids. They can be handmade.
Use the printable questionnaire below to ask the kids questions about their dad. The younger the child, the sillier the answer. Like this, “My dad weighs 82 pounds.” Dad hasn’t weighed 82 pounds since grade school! Come back each year to print one out and see how the answers change with age and a smidge more {childlike} wisdom.

Does Dad do all of the grilling? You could frame this one and set it out for him or hang it next to his award winning recipe. Let him know you think he’s the Grill Master!
