Dads. They’re too often overlooked for all the hard work they do. Many are breadwinners, most are lumped with taxi duties, and almost all are tapped up continually for the latest trainers, computer games and other bits and pieces. I know this is the case for my Craig - he’s out the door at 6am every weekday and comes back some 13 hours later. When he arrives through the door he’s greeted by chaos; half-eaten dinners, over-tired kids and a stressed-out girlfriend.

We don’t show him often enough how much we love him. I’m the first to shove ketchup-covered children in his face every evening and run upstairs for some me-time. Craig is then on dessert-duty and has to deal with the fallout when the kids fight over the last strawberry-flavoured Petit Filous.

Bedtime is also his domain, and the protests over teeth-cleaning make me wince from the sofa downstairs. I honestly don’t know how single mums cope as I’m shattered at 6.30pm and couldn’t manage a second more without checking myself into an asylum.

So Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show dads everywhere that they’re the real superheroes. How better to show them than winning them an awesome Cadbury’s hamper worth £50 stuffed with all his favourites?

(… there’s also a cheeky chocolate and wine option if dad likes a tipple).

To enter, kids can send in a drawing, sketch, or craft image of their dad as a superhero to david [dot] cook [at] digitaslbi [dot] com, and guest judge – craft blogger and seller Vicki Evans – will pick a winner!

Closing date for entries is Tuesday 9th June 12pm - so it’s time to get cracking!

My babies might be a too little too tiny for painting, drawing and the like (I wouldn’t even trust them with a Pritt Stick), but I have had a little search about for some ideas if you wanted to take part. I love these superhero loo rolls by GeekMom.com, they’re just crying out for a Polaroid image of daddy’s face.

And here’s a selection of drawings (from kids of all ages) as found on Pinterest. Goes to show superheroes come in all shapes and sizes (… even balding dads and dads dressed in pink dresses make the grade!).

So go on then, get the crayons out and draw daddy a cape! Good luck everyone
