Painting on a coffee cup is just as easy as painting on a piece of paper or wood. Use this simple yet cute design for your Father's Day coffee mug, or create your very own! The possibilities are endless.
What You Need:
white coffee mug
*acrylic enamel paints in red, black and silver
paint brush
*We used FolkArt EnamelsTM and found them at Michael's Craft Store in the arylic paint aisle.
What You Do:
Wash and dry mug completely.
Paint design on coffee mug. We didn't use a pattern, simply freehand an oval for the fish and add a tail and fins, then dot the eye with the end of the paintbrush with black paint.
Paint "dad" with red, and use black to paint a design around the rim and bottom of the cup.
Air dry for one hour. Place in cool, oven, heat to 350 F, and bake for 30 minutes. Turn oven off and let cool down completely. Remove from oven.
Wash on top dishwasher rack or by hand.

Just Me and My Dad
by Mercer Mayer
This well-loved Little Critter picture book has become a modern classic. It's the tale of a father-and-son camping trip filled with Little Critter's mistakes and good intentions. In spite of difficulties, however, the happy father and son manage to put up their tent, catch fish for dinner, and sleep beneath the stars. In spite of minimal text, the story is full and rich, with endearing illustrations from start to finish.
