How do you celebrate Father’s Day in your family? Do you have fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other men who have taken a father figure role in your life or your children’s lives?

- Do the children make special gifts and cards?
- Do you cook favorite foods?
- Do you plan special activities for the day?
- Do you give Dad the day off to do just as he likes?
- Do you take walks with Dad.
- Do you go on a family picnic to Dad’s favorite fishing spot?
Are there family rituals that you associate with Father’s Day in your family?
I thought other readers would enjoy an activity I got at the botanical gardens. Have you or your children “Ever Seen a Plant Move When You Tickle It?” If you wanted to share your love for nature with your children, here is an activity I have done with mine. This may change the way you and the kids react to plants for ever. Imagine giving your children some seeds. Having them watch them sprout and grow. Then shortly after the second leaves appear they tickle the plant and it moves its branches down and closes its leaves! Give them more than a gift; give them a learning experience they will never forget. I found information and a TickleMe Plant Greenhouse at http://www.ticklemeplant.com
