Kids can make Dad an adorable Smiley face Emoji handprint craft that is sure to put a smile on his face. The free Fathers Day template is available now.
Kids will love making Dad a Fathers Day emoji card because smiling faces and cute little hands make every day better.
This craft is great for kids of all ages to make. My toddler (Little Pup, age 1 and my second grader (Little Dragon, age 7) both had fun painting their hands and making handprints for Dad.
The template comes in a “color me” version that kids can paint the smiley face template or a “print in color” version to keep things extra easy. My Little Pup loved painting his smiley face. He didn’t fill in all the white and he didn’t stay in the lines, and it’s those little touches that make it perfect for Dad to love!
Kids can write a special note on the craft or attach a second page to turn this craft into a card.
