I did have them for many, many years. You can buy business card magnet stock at any office supply store. One side of the stock is sticky once you remove the protective paper. Have your toddler select a picture he or she really likes then pull the protective paper off, stick the picture on, trim the excess away and you have a perfect refrigerator magnet.

7) CERTIFICATE: Always great is the "World's Best Dad" certificate. Blanks can be purchased at your local office supply store and your toddler can fill in the blanks. Some of them even have an area where the Toddler can say why his or her Dad is the World's greatest.

6) PHOTO BOOK: This one will call for some extra help from Mom. Go through your collection of photos and select at least one from every age of your toddler. Make a little booklet out of simple typing paper, about a quarter sheet size. Paste one picture on each page and have your toddler write in how old he or she is in the picture. Have the toddler design a brightly colored cover for the new photo book and sign it on the last page and watch Dad as he glances through this little wealth of memories.

5) POSTER: This is a good idea to see just what is on your toddler's mind. Get a large sheet of white poster board. Give the toddler a set of colored pencils or pens or felt tips even and ask them to "very carefully", you want to stress "very carefully" because the size of the poster board could be overwhelming and they may not know what to do. If you remind them to "very carefully" draw their thoughts they will be more apt to end up with something that both you and Dad can treasure forever.

4) CARD: Cards are always special, especially the ones drawn, colored and put together by the hands of your toddler. The card can say anything and can be decorated in any manner your toddler likes. Simply take a plain white sheet of typing paper, fold it in half, then fold it in half once more and you have a quartered folding card. Have your toddler color and decorate the card as much as they want. Be absolutely sure to include "I love you Daddy." Someplace inside the card; that is the gift.

3) STORY: My Son was just a little more than a toddler, perhaps nine or ten, when he wrote his first story about his Dad. I had to include this one though because it had such an impact. Mom could even help the toddler write the story. Ask your toddler to explain to you why they like Daddy. You may have to draw a story out of them but work at it. See if your toddler can tell you anything.
