Easy Crafts for Kids to Make for Father’s Day

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.

Teach the Teacher Activities and Lesson Plans That…

Most kids go through a phase where they want to learn more about animals, and it’s fun for them to learn about the diversity of the natural world and what humans can do to protect other creatures we share the planet with. Camilla de la Bedoyere has written a couple of books, illustrated by Philip Giordano, to help kids learn more about birds and bees.

Wild Your World: Birds looks at many different kinds of birds that live around the world and covers things like parts of a bird, different habitats that birds live in, migration, camouflage, what and how birds eat and more.

With lovely illustrations showing a diverse array of birds found around the world, the book talks about different birds that live in the woodlands, rainforest, fields and farms, coastland, grasslands and deserts, urban areas and the polar regions.

It talks about some of the biggest, smallest and fastest birds, and fun facts about different birds. For example you’ll learn about birds that next in cacti, the birds with weird shaped eggs so they won’t roll off cliffs, and meet the birds that migrate from New Zealand to Alaska.

Wild Your World: Bees follows a similar format, talking about different kinds of bees (and how the vast majority of bee species are solitary bees), parts of a bee and why bees look the way they do, how bees collect nectar and pollen, how bees sense the world around them, how their wings work and what life in a colony is like.

It covers the bee life cycle, how bees make honey, what causes a swarm and more. It covers digger bees, carpenter bees, orchid bees, cuckoo bees (who lay their eggs in the nests of teddy bear bees so they don’t have to take care of their young), mining bees, plasterer bees, leaf-cutter, wool carder and mason bees (so named because they collect materials to make their nests), bumblebees and swaet bees.

Readers will also learn about keeping bees. Both books talk about the dangers to birds and bees and what humans can do to help them.

These books are aimed at readers ages 4-9 who will enjoy looking at the pictures and learning about these animals and how people can help protect them.

About the books: Both books are 46 pages and hardcover. Published 2025 by Design Eye (see: birds|bees). Both books retail for $16.99.
