The ideal gift for the dad who loves to spend time outback barbecuing a delicious meal for friends and family. To make: Use fabric markers or fabric paint and a small paint brush to paint “grill master” and a grill on a plain canvas apron. Once dry, have kids dip their pinky fingers in orange, red, and yellow paint and press onto apron, just above grill grates, to create flames. Make Dad a catch-all dish where he can stash those trinkets you collect together on your outdoor adventures.
