How to Host Donuts with Dad in Preschool

Fathers Day Celebration in the Classroom

Father’s Day is a big day for any dad, but what about children who aren’t being raised by their biological fathers? It’s important we make all children and families in our classrooms feel included when it comes to celebrations like Father’s Days. A Donuts with Dads, or Donuts with Dudes event is the perfect way to include all male role models and caregivers while still celebrating this special day.

Donuts With Dad Picture Activity

No Donuts with Dads event would be complete without pictures of the children. You can print these place mats in color or black and white, and then invite your kids to color or paint their donuts and glue “sprinkles” (torn paper) on top.

Next, glue a picture of each child to the center of the place mat for that extra special, personal touch.

Your kids can even help make the decorations for your Donuts with Dudes event! Just cut a hole in the center of small, inexpensive paper plates. Then, invite your students to tear and glue construction paper to their donuts. When dry, attach the donuts to a piece of yarn, string, or ribbon and hang near your treat table.
