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.
