Make him an inexpensive gift with the kids. Cards, etc.
Have a pick nick at the park or in the back yard with lemon aid, lunches,music,bubbles, kites,etc.
Or buy his favorite fast food and take it to the park, and you watch the kids while he watches you all in his lounge chair. Give him his gifts at that time.
Decorate the kitchen table with his favorite breakfast and give him his gifts then.
Take lots of pictures and make sure the kids all dress alike or cute then make a simple fathers day scrap book for treasured memorabilia.
Buy Dad something that he can use. It doesn't have to be expensive.
