The seller provides acrylic paint, a paintbrush, a frame and a sign that has the message "Best Dad Hands Down." You can swap out the word "Dad" for anything you would like in case you call him "Papa," "Grandpa" or anything else. Once it arrives, you can simply have your kids dip their hands into the paint and press them onto the sign. On the bottom, you can add a carved-in name of your choice that will be added prior to its delivery so it's ready to go.
