Handprint and Footprint Father’s Day Card: Thanks for Holding My Hand

Kids can make Dad a cute Father’s Day Card with their handprints and footprints to tell Dad thanks for making them a path to follow.

Last year we made a fun Pop Up High Five Father’s Day Card, this year we are
looking to strike an emotional cord and maybe even get dad teary eyed with our
homemade Father’s Day Card that lets dad know he is special. 
 
 
 

You can either write on your own card or
use our free printable template that comes in a two versions for families with
one kid or more than one kid. It’s easy to make and has plenty of room if your kiddo wants to personalize it with a drawing of dad leading the way, holding
their hand, or a favorite memory they have of him.
 
The front of the card says: Thanks for making a path for us to follow (footprint)
The inside of the card says: and for holding our hand when we need help along the way (handprint)
 

 

Pin me please 🙂

Supplies:
Craft paint
2 pieces of paper or printable (available at the bottom of this post)
Tape

Directions:

1.  Cover child’s foot with paint and make a footprint on the first page of the card.

Little Dragon couldn’t stop laughing and saying, “It tickles mommy!” LOL

2.  Cover child’s hand with paint and make a handprint on the second page, set them aside to dry.

3.  Tape the pages together to make a card and now your kiddos can decorate the card then give it to daddy.

Pin me please! 🙂
The font on the card is different than this image.

  • These little bugs took no time at all to make and are a pretty self-guided craft for kids. Little Tiger finished chopping potatoes while helping me make dinner and found our bags full of lids on the counter (3 bags to be exact–no lid gets left behind in our house :). Before long I looked over and there were 3 bugs staring back at me and no mess in sight! Since the little bugs sitting on my counter make me smile when I look at them I thought you should have some too.
  • This activity helps kids learn to count to 100, introduces them to place values, helps with number recognition and number relationships while allowing them to be actively involved as they learn instead of just staring at a chart with lots of numbers which can be overwhelming.
  • We love stars around here so naturally one of our favorite things that live in the ocean is starfish aka sea stars. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and textures so we have provided you with a free craft template to make a big, medium, and small size starfish craft with your kids. We also show you how to take your craft to the next level by giving it texture and folding it to give it dimension, and if you want you can give it added color with paint. Each one will turn out amazing!
  • When this sunset Tissue Paper Craft is hung in a window it magically seems to glow resembling the beauty of a real sunset on the horizon. No glue or scissor skills are required, so this craft is easy to clean up and perfect for kids of all ages!
  • One of the most beloved children’s authors has to be Dr. Seuss who happens to have a birthday coming up on March 2nd. Did you know he wasn’t technically a doctor?– but that’s okay we still love him anyways! To start celebrating my kids picked out Horton Hears a Who!
  • The set comes in a print-in-color or a color-me (coloring book) version. You can print the set out and assemble it, or extend this activity further by letting your students color their own spinner increasing their recognition of each picture.
