Fun Printables for Father’s Day

May 26, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

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.

Book Review: Rise Up!

It might seem weird to feature a book about protest movements around the Fourth of July, but as Rise Up! Powerful Protests in American History reminds us, protest is patriotic and part of the very fabric of American life from the beginning. 

This picture book, written by history teacher Rachel C. Katz and illustrated by Sophie Bass, tells a rhyming story of how Americans have stood up throughout the nation’s history to protest and spread the word about injustice and unsafe conditions. From the Boston Tea Party to modern movements like the Standing Rock pipeline protests and the Obergefell case, it touches on women’s rights, environmental activism, civil rights, Pride, access for disabled people and more.

The illustrations, often based on historic protest signs and artwork, help tell the stories, while a timeline, map, and overview of each event for further discussion. Readers will learn about Silent Spring and The Jungle, the Memphis Sanitation Workers’ Strike, the Seneca Falls convention, Robert Smalls, the Delano Grape Strike and the movement to un-dam the Klamath River, to name a few.

Each event includes a few bullet points to provide context about what happened, why and what the result was. The book reminds readers that protests are not always effective, or don’t always get the people involved what they want right away (since it took women 72 years to get the right to vote after Seneca Falls, for example).

This book is a great way to introduce kids to the long and proud history of protest movements in the United States and could prompt discussions about current events and things happening that they might want to see changed. It could also be used to start kids researching different protests discussed in the book for further learning. You can talk about how art can educate people and encourage kids to make their own art pieces to educate others about something important to them.

Rise Up! is a great starting point for learning about the history of protest and the effects it has had on American history. The publisher’s website has more resources for teaching with this book at the link below.

About the book: 48 pages, hardcover. Published 2025 by Barefoot Books. Suggested retail price $17.99.
