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.

A classic manipulative in the preschool and early elementary classroom is the snap cube, also known as math cubes, unifix cubes or unit cubes. These little one inch cubes often come in a set of 100 in 10 different colors, and they snap together so they’re easy to use for all sorts of math learning, measuring and more.

No Time for Flashcards has a cute robot printable to use with cubes to measure the height of each robot. That one is free but they also have other printable cube mats that are a paid resource.

Catherine & Co uses math cubes to teach kids about measuring volume. They make a letter from cubes and then measure the volume (there’s a printable worksheet in the post).

Pattern recognition is another fun and easy activity you can do with the cubes. You can use printables like these from Planning Playtime, or just make a pattern from cubes and have kids repeat it or figure out what comes next. There’s another good set of pattern printables at English Created Resources.

Because there are 10 sets of 10 cubes in a pack, these are great for teaching one to one correspondence, counting, sorting and basic addition and subtraction. English Created Resources has great printable number mats you can use to form the number from cubes and count out the number of cubes that corresponds to that number.

ParenTutor has a great collection of snap cube activity ideas, most of which are just pictures, but it’s work taking a look through the post for ideas for using them at home or in the classroom.

To give just a few of their examples, you can match linked blocks to the corresponding number of pieces, use blocks to find different ways to add up to 10, compare numbers and determine which one is more or less, skip counting and weighing different numbers of blocks.

You can also use unit cubes to learn letters, like with these super cute alphabet mats from Fun Learning for Kids. Kids can trace the letter, make it out of cubes and practice writing a word that starts with that letter.

Of course you can also use them to build things, since they are blocks, and there are tons of pattern mats on Teachers Pay Teachers. I also love these dinosaur themed mats from Lets Go to Learn on Etsy.
