Dear Readers,

I recently posted about father’s day gifts that you could make inexpensively. My son did even better and made his gift for free. Except that it was priceless.

I offered the options on the list to both kids and my youngest chose the mug (which turned out beautiful). When I give the boys choices, I try to leave room for their own ideas. Sometimes it’s hard because I get excited too and have visions of how things should look.

Anyhow, my oldest said that he’d like to make a video for his Dad. We worked on it in two sessions. I had him practice what he’d like to say and then I jotted it down for him so he’d have notes. We used WeVideo to record him and used it in clips to break up the pictures. We also recorded it as audio only for mixing purposes.

With WeVideo we were able to intermix video, pictures and a sound track to make about a minute and a half worth of footage. He loved how we put everything together and had a great time picking music, pictures, and transitions. I really reccomend this tool because even the free version was amazing!

It was fun to make it with him because he was very engaged! It was truly special to see how much my husband enjoyed it! 💜💜💜💜💜
