The best part is that’s it’s super easy and all you’ll need is a printer and paint! And Dad will love that this Father’s Day craft comes straight from the hearts—and hands—of his biggest fans.

What you’ll need:

• Printer
• Paper
• Black paint
• Paint brush
• Paper towels!

Print the free template onto paper or cardstock.

Use a paint brush to cover your child’s hand in black paint. If they are old enough, they can dip their hands into the paint themselves. At just about one year old, Baby M was definitely not there yet!

Turn the page up-side down and gently press the little paint filled hand onto the paper, underneath the bears head.

Let the paint dry and you’re all done! Easy peasy – if a little messy…

Dangerously good with a healthy dose of liquor, this coffee cocktail is made with espresso, vodka and Kahlua. This is hands down one of our favourite cocktails. We’ll whip one up for a delicious pick-me-up or order one at the bar with – or instead of – dessert. Although it would pair with our Whiskey Bacon Cookies perfectly!

What do you need to make an Espresso Martini?

• Freshly brewed espresso
• Kahlua
• Vodka
• Coffee grinds or beans, for garnish
• Simple syrup
• Ice
• Jigger
• Cocktail shaker
• Martini or Nick and Nora glasses

To the cocktail shaker, add Kahlua,

and then the simple syrup,

the brewed espresso…

and the vodka.

Add three cubes of ice per martini to the shaker as well.

Shake – vigorously and until the whole shaker is ice cold to the touch. The stronger your shake, the more foam you’ll get!

Garnish with coffee grounds or beans.
