2 Easy Peasy Father’s Day Craft Ideas for Kindergarten
Father’s Day is around the corner and kindergarten teachers everywhere are looking for easy peasy father’s day crafts to make. My school was always on summer break before Father’s Day but I made a promise to myself that we would always make something for this special holiday before school let out, just like we did for Mother’s Day.
These homemade father’s day gifts are perfect for young kids in kindergarten to make. They are easy crafts because they both have a printable template, are made from construction paper and need very little help from the teacher.
Keep reading for 2 simple father’s day craft ideas for kindergarten!
1. Tie Shape Book for Dad
This is an 8 page paper book that students will fill in themselves to tell about their dad, uncle or grandpa. You can print it all out ahead of time. Besides being a great father’s day gift, it’s also a wonderful way for your kinders to work on their fine motor skills.
I like this dad’s day gift because you can do it as a whole group or put it in the writing center for students to do independently. This one is a simple father’s day gift but a really meaningful gift.
The book is shaped like a neck tie. On the front it says “All About My Dad” (or the special person they chose) with a frame for them to draw a picture of their dad and add their name at the bottom.
On each page, students fill in the remainder of a special message to their dad:
My dad is really good at ____.
My dad likes to eat ____.
My dad likes to play ____.
My dad and I like to go to _____.
My dad likes to watch ______.
I love my dad because _______.
Here’s a picture of my dad and me.
This fun gift will get a BIG SMILE from dad and be sure to melt his heart!
2. Coupon Wallet for Dad
Next up is another DIY father’s day gift and this one is really adorable. Have your kindergartners make dad a coupon wallet to redeem all sorts of fun things from them!
First, have them color and cut out the wallet.
Then they will fold and staple it.
Finally, they will cut out the coupons that they want to put in the wallet.
Once again there are also options for other father figures in the child’s life such as an uncle or grandpa. There is also a blank template to use if needed.
Here are the coupon choices:
One Free Hug
One Game Night (Dad chooses the game)
One Car Wash
One Movie Night
One Breakfast in Bed
Yard Work (dad’s choice)
Let Dad Sleep In
One Chore (dad’s choice)
Taking Out the Trash
3 blank coupons for students to fill in with whatever they would like
Don’t Forget to Make Father’s Day Cards
Homemade gifts are a great way to show dad how much his kids care.
Don’t forget to give each student a piece of construction paper and let them make a cute card to go with it! I love handmade gifts like these with a personalized touch!
