Instructions:
Design & Paint:
Begin by setting up a clean workspace and laying out all your materials.
Have your child paint the wooden board in their dad's favorite color. Allow them to use stencils to create a pattern or spell out "DAD" or his name.
Let the paint dry completely, which may take a few hours.
Install Hooks:
Once the paint is dry, help your child evenly space and screw in the hooks along the lower part of the board. Depending on the child's age, they might need assistance to ensure the hooks are securely fastened.
Add a Personal Touch:
Encourage your child to decorate the board with stickers or use paint markers to write a special message or draw designs that reflect their dad's interests, such as cars, tools, or sports symbols.
Prepare for Mounting:
Attach wall mounting strips to the back of the board or prepare the board with appropriate hardware for hanging. Ensure it’s ready to be mounted on the wall without any additional assembly.
Wrap & Gift:
Wrap the key holder in festive wrapping paper and present it to Dad on Father's Day. It's a practical gift that he'll use every day!
