Father's Day is around the corner so here are some of the cool crafts I found that I plan to add to my craft session this year at my library.
This one uses a paper plate and some cut outs that can be made with construction paper. Both cutting the cutout saw and writing the message may be a little difficult for young ones so I would advise grown ups to handle those portions of the craft.
Another paper plate craft that I like is this one which uses the outside of the plate to write a heartfelt message to dad. Some colored or construction paper can be used to make the design piece at the bottom.
This tie is a cool craft as well. I am thinking that 8 1/2" X 14" paper might be good for this due to the length of the tie. I found a template here that can be adjusted as need be. I am also thinking that most baby and little kid hands would fit on there. This tie is after all a decorative thing that most (all) dads will hang proudly in the office.
For the father whose little ones(s) are good with words, this card is a nice way to tell him how much he means to them. A simple construction paper folder in a card shape and then decorated as needed.
This last craft I found on this site and I like it a lot because it is perfect for the modern connected dad. You can use a recycled drink tray or similar sturdy recycled material. Some craftiness is required to paint and decorate it but I am thinking once it says "dad" on there most dads will be pretty pleased.
Happy Father's Day!
This blog will primarily feature reviews of picture books, jfic novels, and graphic novels (plus the occasional YA novel) as well as snippets of my writing. I will also feature crafts that I use in library story time as well as music from various genres.
