Father’s Day Printables

Using printables is a fun and easy way to make a Father’s Day gift or to use Father’s Day for a little learning fun. Here are some Father’s Day printables for you to check out with your kids!

KidSparkz on Teachers Pay Teachers has a set of free printables where kids can draw themselves with their dad (options for dad, daddy, grandpa and one without a word at the top so kids can fill in what they call the person they are gifting the drawings to).

Skip to My Lou has a printable Father’s Day coloring page where kids can fill out “facts” about their dad such as his age, what he likes to eat, what his pockets are always full of and more.

Print out a book with all your favorite things about dad (kids write and draw to fill in the blanks) with this sweet printable from Hello Wonderful.

Everyone will have fun and laughs with the Dad-Libs printable from Let’s DIY It All.

K-12 Reader has a printable for an acrostic poem that spells out Father (if you don’t like the ties you can just make your own and have your kid/s draw on it).

A little cliche but cute, this printable Father’s Day I-spy from Paper Trail Design gives kids a fun Father’s Day related activity.

With little kids especially, linking learning to physical activity really does help them learn. Movement can help kids focus, and it just keeps them from sitting still all day, which isn’t good for anyone.

The good news is lots of different learning activities can be adopted to get kids moving while they learn, so let’s look at some math and number activities that use gross motor skills.

Probably the most obvious thing would be hopscotch, which helps kids count while they hop. You can also mix up the numbers, do skip counting with the numbers, give kids a simple math problem and have them hop to the correct answer, and on and on.

This number hop game from Gift of Curiosity is a more chaotic version, with number flash cards on the floor that kids can hop, skip or jump to as you call them out (this one is more for individual number identification than counting). It’s a great indoor option if it’s too hot, cold or rainy out to do traditional hopscotch, too.

This painter’s tape number line idea from Days with Grey doesn’t involve quite as much movement, but kids can move around while they place things on the number line and work on learning about one to one correspondence. In the blog post they use shoes, but you can count anything you’ve got handy. (Be warned when I visited this website had an ad that continually took up the whole page, but you can get the idea pretty quickly.)

One of the important tasks of learning numbers is learning a parent’s phone number just in case it’s ever needed, or how to dial 911 in case on an emergency. Teaching Mama has a great way to practice telephone numbers and get some movement in with a giant telephone keypad made out of paper plates. You can also use this for counting practice, but it’s a great idea for learning phone numbers, too.
