Kids speak into a microphone and design a card for Dad—all with the power of their own voice. First, they'll choose a custom pattern (themes include Dizzy DNA or Round and Round), then by talking, singing or making silly sounds, graphic art will appear on a print that can be crafted into a card, T–shirt or saved for later use. Registration is required for this event; RSVP at voicepainter.com. Ages 7 to 12.
Rev up traditional Father's Day gifts like neckties, picture frames and greeting cards with fun accouterments from the Painted Cloud's hefty supply of sequins, ribbons, beats, feathers and lace.
