How Kids See Dad's "Cool" Side
Ask a child "What does Daddy do at work?" and you'll get wonderfully creative answers. A firefighter dad is a "fire-fighting superhero." A chef dad is a "magic cook."
Turn that unique perspective into a figurine, and you've got the ultimate Father's Day tribute.

A Gift That Says "I Respect You"
A figurine of "Dad at Work" drawn by a child silently conveys: "I see how hard you work" and "I look up to you."
Sometimes those words are hard to say out loud — but a figurine delivers the message naturally.
Upload your child's "Working Dad" drawing to figmee and create a one-of-a-kind tribute figurine.
