1. SuperHero Father’s Day Card
If your husband and kids are into superheroes like mine, a superhero-themed drawing makes the perfect gift. If the kids are still little, Mom can help with the drawing and let them color the characters. If they’re old enough to draw on their own, there are lots of easy superhero drawing tutorials on YouTube. Dad will really feel like a hero when he sees it!
2. Paper Necktie for Dad
A fun idea is to make a necktie cutout from colored paper and decorate it with glitter, paper shapes, or polka dots using a hole puncher. Even if you don’t have those supplies, kids can just draw on the tie and make it their own!
3. Father’s Day Shirt Card
You can make the necktie even more special by turning it into a polo shirt card. Just use the necktie you made and glue it onto a folded piece of paper shaped like a shirt. Now it looks like a real polo with a fun tie, perfect for Father’s Day!
4. You’re the Coolest Card
Take a piece of paper, cardstock is perfect because it’s harder than bond paper, but bond paper works too. Draw an ice cream or a popsicle, then add googly eyes or just draw them on. Make it fun with bright colors! On the front, write “You’re the Coolest Dad!” and add a sweet personal message inside the card.
5. Paper Trophy for the Best Dad
Make a paper trophy using cardstock or any paper you have at home. Cut out the shape of a trophy and decorate it with a big star in the center. Write “Best Dad” on it to make him feel like a winner! Kids can color it, add stickers, or even glue it onto a card.
6. Story with dad
This fun and creative Father’s Day craft lets you make a moving picture of Dad and his child spending time together. I used a paper plate as the base and glued a piece of green paper on the bottom, but left a little space open so that the characters can slide and move.
I drew a dad and son and attached them to a stick, so they can move side to side—like they’re playing or walking together. You can change it up by drawing Dad and son playing basketball, running around, or even having a picnic.
This craft is super easy to personalize. Just use paper, crayons or markers, and a stick like a BBQ skewer or straw. It’s a sweet way for kids to show Dad how much they love spending time with him!
Painted Flower Pots for Dad
Let the kids paint a flower pot for Dad this Father’s Day! It’s a fun and easy craft that also makes a thoughtful gift. You can use a small clay pot or even recycle a plastic container. Let the kids paint it with their favorite colors, write “Best Dad”, or draw pictures like hearts, stars, or even Dad’s face!Once it’s dry, add a little plant or flower. You can also fill it with treats or a special note. Don’t forget to add the message “Thanks for helping me grow”, it’s the perfect touch to make Dad smile. This is a sweet keepsake he can keep on his desk, in the garden, or by the window. Even toddlers can help by painting with their fingers or sponge brushes. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about making something with love!
