Father’s Day Handprint Card Craft – “You’re G.O.A.T.ED, Dad!
Celebrate Dad with a free Father's Day handprint card craft! Kids can make a goat-themed DAD card using paint, coloring, or a no-handprint version.
Materials
- Blue and White cardstock or printer paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Crayons, markers, or colored pencils (for B&W version)
- Paint and paintbrush (for handprint version)
Instructions
- Prep: Print your chosen template and fold the card template in half. Cut out the craft templates.
- If using the handprint version, paint your child’s hand and stamp it on white cardstock. Let it dry, then cut it out. I like to "bubble cut" around it-leaving some space around the edge of the paint.
- Glue the grass to the bottom of the card. Glue the handprint on and tuck the feet (fingertips) under the grass if needed to make the goat fit better.
- Glue the head on the goat body. Glue the clouds in the sky.
- Write a special message inside for Dad!
Notes
Tips for Crafting Your G.O.A.T. Handprint Card:
- Use washable paint for the handprint — it makes cleanup easier and keeps stress low!
- Practice the handprint on a scrap piece of paper first to get the right amount of paint.
- Let the handprint dry completely before gluing on the goat pieces to avoid smudging.
- If using markers or crayons on the black & white version, color before cutting for easier handling.
-
To make your card extra special, write a message inside like:
“Dad, you’re the GOAT because…” and let your child fill in the rest. - For older kids, skip the handprint version and use the pre-drawn goat template — it's still handmade and heartfelt!
- Want to make it sturdier? Print on cardstock or glue the finished card onto construction paper.
