Easy Crafts for Kids to Make for Father’s Day

May 22, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

There’s nothing better than a kid made craft or card for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, and since school is usually out by the time Father’s Day rolls around, it’s often on the moms to encourage/help kids to make something cute for dad’s special day.

Here are some really easy, fast and cute Father’s Day crafts that kids and dads alike will enjoy.

This superhero spinner craft from Non Toy Gifts is a step up from a handmade card, and great for the dad who loves superhero movies. It’s an easy printable kids can color and put together with a brad.

I also like the magic flashlight card from Our Kid Things, which is easy to make with things you probably already have in the house, plus the printable flashlight template.

I Heart Crafty Things has a cute owl card that kids can make and add their own photo or self-portrait to. And it’s fun to decorate the owl shapes. This one uses brads, too.

These cute Dad cards feature different little doodles based on what dad likes. The printables are from The Best Ideas for Kids, and they include sports, fishing, camping, grilling, tools and golf themes. Just print them out, cut them out and color.

While this one was originally for Mother’s Day, these tile coasters would be perfect for dad, too. The project is from One Sharp Bunch, and it’s a great one to do if you already have leftover tile from a project or can split a bulk box with some other people.

I’m doing another post soon on printables for Father’s Day that includes forms for kids to fill out with information about their dads, but this printable book is different enough I wanted to include it here. It has the same kinds of questions you generally find on those printable surveys, but with more room for kids to draw and make it really special for dad. You can grab this one from Hello Wonderful.

Learning about Snow

Not all of us live where there is a lot of snow in the winter (or even where it is winter as I write this, but it can still be fun to learn about snow, what it is and why it falls, so let’s get into it!

First, let’s talk snowflake science with The Homeschool Scientist. They have a free prinatble snowflake science less that’s more than 60 pages long and good for multiple grade levels. The blog post linked here includes some fun snow facts, information about how snowflakes form and why they are both six-sided and (probably) all different.

Expressive Monkey has a great post about how snowflakes are formed and why they have six arms, and also shows some of the pictures taken by W. A. Bentley in the 1920s (more on him below).

You can also grab a free snow facts worksheet with space for kids to draw their own unique snowflakes from Education.com. Simple Living Creative Learning also has a paid snow study resource set that includes things like different types of snowflakes, the snow cycle, symmetry drawing with snowflakes, tips for snow safety, snow-related vocabulary and more.

Homeschool Superfreak has another great page for learning about snowflakes, which includes information about Snowflake Bentley, a great book to read (and person to learn about). It includes lesson plan ideas and links to activities.

Speaking of activities, if you happen to have snow around you can make snow ice cream or maple candy, paint on snow or with snow, or do some snow science experiments. If you get a ton of snow you could maybe even build an igloo or snow structure.

If you don’t get snow you can learn about how animals keep warm in the snow and cold temperatures with this experiment from I Can Teach My Child. Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls can help you learn why big paws (or snowshoes) make it easier to walk in the snow. Or make a snowstorm in a jar like this one from MomBrite.
