I know its late in the game but I am looking how to handle children who don’t have a father or grandfather to celebrate while we make crafts for the fathers in our church. Our children’s Pastor voiced a concern for this issue and I am at a loss.
You could encourage kids to think of someone who’s “like a father” to them–an uncle, older brother, teacher, etc. And then make the craft for that person.
