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.

A few years ago I shared some pumpkin themed sensory activities for kids, but I wanted to get a little more general and do some fall sensory ideas that can take you from Halloween al the way to Thanksgiving.

Playdough is a classic sensory activity, especially if kids can help make it, too. These playdough recipes from The Montessori Twin Mama are fall colored and scented with cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and apple pie spice (I honestly don’t know what the difference is!). Or try this fun maple playdough from Happy Toddler Playtime.

Throw together some cookie cutters, googly eyes and other fun things to make an easy fall playdough tray (similar to what I did on this Halloween playdough activity).

How about some fall themed slime? Natural Beach Living gave a basic slime recipe a fall twist with food coloring and glitter. Leaf shaped sequins make it even more fun. Little Bins for Little Hands also has a cinnamon slime, which is great for fall but can also carry you all the way through Christmas.

Raising Wild Things Sensory has some great easy to make fall themed sensory bottles, which you can add fall things to, or pompoms or whatever kind of I spy items you might want to include. They also have a fun apple moon sand sensory bin that has me wondering if you could add something scented to moon sand (I always hated the smell!).

And of course there are all kinds of sensory bins you can make for fall. I like this apple picking one from Happy Toddler Playtime that uses fake leaves and little apple toys. It has the added challenge of trying to pick the apples up through a mesh of branches — kind of like a low-tech game of Operation!

You can also do a short-lived sensory bin with real leaves, or use any kind of beans, brown rice, oats or lentils to make your base. Some more great ideas can be found at Fab Everyday. Their post includes some specific Halloween and Thanksgiving themed sensory bins, too.
