💙👨🏻 Father’s Day Inspiration 👨🏻💙
Let’s celebrate the wonderful father/male figures in your early years children’s lives, may this be a granddad, uncle, family friend, or any other special person the children want to celebrate! 💙
When planning activities, it’s important to be inclusive, acknowledging that not all children may have a father present. Consider framing the celebration around “someone special", allowing each child to honour a person who plays a meaningful role in their life 🥰
We have a lovely inclusive Father's Day story called ‘The Big Father's Day Barbecue’ 👉 https://www.twinkl.co.uk/r/ywpw1
We also have this blog ‘How to Make Father’s Day Inclusive’ 👉 https://www.twinkl.co.uk/r/12lfkw
Love these ideas and want some more? 🤔 Then visit our Father's Day EYFS Category and read our wonderful selection of Father’s Day blogs for ages 0-5! ⬇️
