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.

Lots of Americans seem to think that May 5 is Mexican Independence Day, but that holiday actually falls on Sept. 16.

May 5 is the celebration of the Battle of Puebla, in which the Mexicans defeated the French in 1862. Independence Day marks the beginning of their fight for independence from Spain in 1810. That was the day of what’s known as El Grito de Dolores, or the cry of Dolores, for when the Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the church bells at his church in Dolores and declared that Mexico should be free from Spanish rule.

They would fight for their freedom until 1821 when they finally gained independence.

Fabulous Classroom has a little of the history and ideas for celebrating the holiday for all age groups. There’s also a link to a good video in that post about the real story of Mexican Independence Day.

Twinkl also has a good tops about the history and different activities, discussion ideas, crafts and foods that can be incorporated into lessons at school or used at home.

I also found a few pins that no longer link to a website but include good information on Mexican Independence Day, including some questions for students to answer based on the reading. You can find more printables and questions for kids from TX Homeschool Mama on Etsy (also available in Spanish).

You can find a lot more paid resources about Mexican Independence Day at Teachers Pay Teachers.

Mexican flag crafts are a fun option for celebrating Mexican Independence Day (though the current iteration of their flag has only been in use since 1968). Kids Activities Blog has a free Mexican flag printable and a few different ideas for decorating it including dot markers and torn tissue paper.

You can also find some great Mexican crafts at Red Ted Art. The post includes all sorts of Mexican inspired projects including Day of the Dead crafts, Frida Kahlo pinatas and upcycled musical instruments. I love the giant paper flowers they shared from Honestly WTF.
