Kids can show their Papa Bear how much they appreciate him with a printable Fathers Day card that lets them personalize it with their own comments and drawings. School's out for most children before Fathers Day arrives so if they didn't make a class project for Dad this free printout is cheaper than a $10 store bought card that is also a much more personal sentiment which kids can easily do at home.
As a dad myself, I can also assure you that moms and kids can never go wrong in giving a guy a sweet treat for Fathers Day. California Donuts have created awesome Care Bear donuts and they've kindly provided A Geek Daddy the info so you can do them yourselves. Baking up a batch is sure to put a smile on dad's face. Or if you're not a whiz in the kitchen you could also just buy some plain doughnuts and decorate them.
What you will need:
- 1 dozen donuts
- 2 cartons of white frosting
- 1-2 drops of blue, white, and black food coloring
- 1 small bag of candy melts, any color
- 2 quart zip-up plastic bags
- Crush 2 donuts and stuff into the remaining donut's holes
- Place one carton of frosting into one bowl, and split the other carton into two bowls
- Add 1-2 drops of blue food coloring into the larger bowl of frosting and whisk
- Add 1-2 drops of black food coloring into one of the two smaller bowls and whisk
- Leave the other small bowl of frosting white
- Dip donuts in blue frosting or brush with a small spatula I
- Insert two candy melts for the ears
- Paint the ears with the same frosting covering the bear
- Let dry for 30 minutes
- Place white and black frosting in separate small zip-up bags
- Zip both bags shut and cut a small hole in the bottom corner of each
- Squeeze a small amount of white frosting in a circular/oval shape to create the mouth
- Squeeze a small amount of black frosting in a circular/oval shape to create the eyes
- Dip the toothpick in the colored frosting bowl to draw the nose, mouth and eyebrows
- If you don't want to literally duplicate Grumpy Care Bear's appearance you can always reverse the smile for some added cheer
- Take a photo and share on social media using #MyCareBearsDonuts
