#4: DIY decorated mug
If you have little ones, help them create a personalized mug for dad or grandpa! Start by picking up a few plain white ceramic mugs at your local Goodwill store. You can find a variety of mugs in all shapes and sizes, often for under $1 each! Wash and dry each mug, then assist your kids as they draw or write on the mug with permanent markers. You could even include fun phrases, like ” #1 Dad” or ” World’s Best Grandpa.”
Once the mugs are decorated, place them in an oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. This will set your design into the ceramic.
