Fun Printables for Father’s Day

Printing out a coloring sheet or a survey for kids to fill out about dad is a quick and easy way to have a semi-homemade gift for Father’s Day. None of these take a long time to do but they make a big impact because they show that the child was thinking about their dad while they were making them.

If you’re looking for a simple coloring page for Father’s Day, which works just fine in place of a card, check out these from Paper Trail Design. There’s also a grandpa option if you are doing a Father’s Day gift for a grandfather.

Views from a Stepstool has this cute dinosaur themed coloring page that also has sections for the child to fill in about things they like to do together. This one has lots of different name options for dads and granddads, so you can personalize it depending on what the child calls them.

Printabulls has a nice collection of free printable coloring pages for dad as well as form style worksheets. There’s even a “dad libs” page, which you can fill out with real answers or make something funny. Or ask dad to fill in the words and see what he comes up with!

Simply Being Mommy has a cute and easy all about dad printable, while Paper Trail Design also has an all about dad or grandpa printable that’s shaped like a tie.

If you want a project that’s a little more involved, try the Father’s Day project from Happy Home Fairy. This one includes the printable mounted to a piece of construction paper with photos of the child. You could also add a drawing, or just use the printout by itself.

Fall is a great time to learn about and observe the birds in your area, but you can do this any time of year. Whether you’re watching from a backyard or a playground, you’re sure to find a few birds and can learn about the birds that are native to your region in any case.

If you do see birds at home or where your classroom is, the Merlin app is a great one (if your school allows phones). If you don’t already know it, it listens to the sounds around you and can identify birds based on their calls. Very cool and a reason for kids to be quiet while you’re observing nature. Having an old fashioned paper guidebook to the birds where you live is also a great idea because kids can use it to look up birds and it’s just fun to have in the science center.

The specific birds involved in your learning will vary depending on where you live, but here are some bird activities you can do with your kids at home or in the classroom.

Natural Beach Living set up a simple bird nature study center that includes bird books and feathers in front of a big window. There are also some printables you’ll find links to in this post including three part cards and bird observation charts for birds local to them and a bird unit study with lots of great printables (this is a paid resource).

Adventure in a Box has a printable birds of the world bingo game, which might inspire you to learn more about some of the 48 different birds included, from emu to snowy owl, grackle to Atlantic puffin.

If you’re American you’ll enjoy these state bird coloring pages from Flanders Family Home Life. If I can count, only 48 states are listed (which I wouldn’t have noticed except Arkansas isn’t there; it’s one of many whose state bird is the mockingbird). Print out all of them or just your home state, or give each child a bird to research and color to do a presentation in the classroom.

And you can learn more about the different types of bird nests and see if you can observe any of them on a nature walk with this guide to bird nests from Fun Mom Printables on Etsy. It includes information about eight types of nests with drawings and three part cards.
