Father’s Day is right around the corner-this year it falls on Sunday, June 15th! I share this sweet little printable every year, and it’s the easiest way to show a little love to the blue line dad in your life and capture little handprints! We have a whole row up over my own LEO’s cop caddy, and it’s my favorite thing on the wall.
This printable is easily customizable with your little’s handprint. Just download and print the below PDF (s), mentally prepare yourself for a bit of a mess, paint your kiddo’s hand, and voila! You’ve got a (free!) custom card or piece of artwork that your LEO is sure to cherish. Make sure to use washable, nontoxic paint, and do this project outside with wet wipes nearby for easy clean up. Paint is usually on sale at Hobby Lobby, or you can grab it on Amazon here or here. There’s a plain version, as well as a version with a space at the bottom for your kiddo to write a note or sign their name, if they’re old enough, as well as a sheriff star version. I also included a “mommy” printable, if that’s what you’re looking for!
If you need some gift ideas, my Amazon gift guide is here. I also love gifting a Shield Box, Medic Box, or challenge coin subscription! They can all be given just one time or as a recurring subscription. My own LEO has loved every single one! Bonus points for it being a first responder run small business. Other small shops that I love are Ben Shot, Tactical Baby Gear, Patriot Coolers, SRVS Gear, and American Freedom Co.
Gifts pictured: TBG Daypack diaper bag (we got this exact one years ago and still love it!), SRVS Law Enforcement LoyalTee (they gift a shirt to a service member for each shirt purchased!), Patriot Coolers Duo Lunch Cooler (my LEO has used this exact one for years), BenShot Thin Blue Line Glass, BLEO LEO Edition Compact Life Kit (this is the most amazing organization!), Guardian Angel, GOAT Guns Miniature AR15 (my LEO has several of these in different models-the quality is insane!).
Happy Father’s Day to all of our blue line heroes and to all of the wonderful people who play an important parental role in someone’s life!
