Measure Twice…Cut Once

I asked Riley what he wanted to get Ryan for Father's Day.  He said "UMMMM… a GOLDFISH!"  I responded "do you really think daddy wants a goldfish???".  Riley said "YES!"  

Okay?

"Well if you could get daddy another gift….anything in the world, what would you get him?"

Riley thought about it…"A TOOLBOX!"

Okay that's a start, but Ryan already has 2 tool boxes.  So I googled how to make a tool box and I found this homemade tape measure.  

Riley helped make this faux tape measure for father's day.  A Macaroni box and some other items made this a fun way to make a gift.  I asked Riley what he loved about his daddy and we wrote it on the "tape", so Ryan could later pull out and read.  

Here's the link to the supplies and instructions:
