Creative Father’s Day Card Kids’ Activity

Why buy a ready-made Father’s Day card when your child can make her own? Instead of going with a store-bought version, get personal (and crafty) and DIY one. Your child can create this easy-to-make card, and then add to it. Fill the inside of the card with a favorite poem that describes dad, a sweet sentiment or anything that your kiddo wants to add.

Craft Materials

Card stock paper
Scissors
Markers
Craft felt
Clear-drying school glue

How-To Steps

Fold an 8×10-inch piece of card stock paper in half, from top to bottom. This creates a tent-like card.
Draw bubble letters that read “DAD” onto the craft felt. If your child can’t write the letters herself, write them for her and then ask her to trace over them.
Cut the letters out.
Glue the letters to the front of the card.

Here’s where your child can get even more creative. She can draw around the “DAD” word on the front, designing a card that looks like nothing dad has ever seen before. She can draw a pattern, a rainbow of color blocks or anything else she wants.

After the glue has dried (and after your child has written a special message inside), put the card in an envelope and give it to that very deserving guy!
