4 Easy Father’s Day Gift with Free Printables

May 16, 2021 by Wifeeclectic 19 Comments

My girls LOVE making Father’s Day presents for their dad’s every year. It always involves a lot of coloring and glue, because what would a good craft project be without either? Today I have pulled together four of our favorite gifts that we have put together for our dad. They are all easy and can be put together by any age with a little help.

Dad Frame

You will need:

  • the printable at the end of this post
  • scissors
  • crayons or colored pencils
  • pictures
  • tape

Print the printable frame on cardstock. Give your kids crayons or colored pencils and let them color in the frame for dad.

Cut the frame out as well as the centers of the letters.

Find pictures that work in the frame and then cut them to fit into the frame. Tape the pictures to the back of the frame.

 

Tie Candy Bag

You will need:

  • the printable at the end of this post
  • a gallon size bag
  • hot glue
  • small candies that fit inside the tie

Print the printable at the end of this post on cardstock. Cut out both pages to look like the picture below.

 

Glue the back of the tie to the back of the plastic bag. Glue the front of the tie to the front of the bag. Cut the tie out and then glue the tie together, leaving a spot at the top to put the candy inside.  Fill the tie up with candy and then glue the last opening together.

Family Handprint

You will need:

  • Cardstock in different colors
  • scissors
  • a pen
  • glue

Trace everyone in your family’s hand on a different colored piece of cardstock. Make sure to trace the same hand on everyone, for instance everybody’s left hand. Cut the hands out of cardstock and then glue them layering on top of each other on another piece of cardstock. Add your family name and the year.

 

 

 

Photo Bookmarks

You will need:

  • a picture of each child
  • scissors
  • laminator 
  • hole punch
  • ribbon

Take a photo of your kids with their hands over the head. This pose will make it look like the kids are holding the ribbon for the bookmark. Crop the photos in tight on each child and then print them on cardstock.

Trim around each kid leaving little to no background and then punch a hole by their hands.

 

 

 

Laminate the photos and then trim them again. Punch a hole in the same place as the first hole and then tie a small piece of ribbon through the hole.  Slip the bookmark into a new book for dad and you have a cute and practical gift!

Which of these are you going to make for your dad?

    These easy Father’s Day gifts are adorable. I can’t decide which one I like the best, but I’m leaning towards the bookmark and the necktie candy bag. The bookmark is beyond cute and such a fun idea!

    These are all adorable! I think handmade gifts for Father’s Day are the best when kids are little. They’re only small once, and the memories will last forever.

    The family handprint is super cute. I made something similar for my husband one year but on a tee shirt. He loved it.

    The bookmarks are seriously cute. I would love to make that for my husband on Father’s day. He’s a bookworm and it would be nice to have pictures of our kids as his bookmark. Awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.

    The hand prints are really cute. They make great art but you can also see how your hands measure up.
