DIY Father's Day Gift Idea

Here is a very popular Father's Day gift with my students. It is easy to make and the Dads really like receiving it.

Equipment needed:

5X7 borderless frames (I got them in packs of 2 from the Dollar Store)






Wordle picture (I put 2 on a page)

To create these frames, I had my students create lists of words about Dad. They did them in their notebooks and underlined the most important ones. This is because I didn't have access to internet for everyone at the same time when doing it.
Later during other quiet work times, I called them over and put their words into the Wordle program. They got to choose the image they wanted. If you have limited colored ink available, you may have to specify that black backgrounds cannot be chosen.
Once an image is selected, you can choose to print it. On my computer, this allows me to choose a pdf option. I save all the images as pdf and then I put them in a word processing document. I put 2 on each page and then cut them to size when they are printed.

If you have access to a lab and are able to do all of them at the same time, this will speed up the process.
