Here's a story to illustrate the significance of Father's Day:

A Heartfelt Gift

Little Sonia wanted to make Father's Day special for her dad. 

She drew a picture of their favourite memory together - 

A camping trip where she & her dad did bird watching.

On Father's Day morning, Sonia presented the picture to her dad, who was touched by her thoughtfulness. 

He gave her a big hug and said, "This means the world to me, sweetie."

Sonia's dad framed the picture and kept it in his office, reminding him of their special bond and the love they share.

We can modify this activity.

1. If the children can draw, let them draw any of their best memories with their dad.

2. If the children are small, the moms or any other family member can help them make a photo collage.
