A Father’s Day Craft Idea That has All the Tools

This adorable Father’s Day craft activity is perfect to create a Father’s Day gift that will spark joy in father figures! In this craftivity, students will complete a writing prompt about a special father figure in their life, cut out the prompts and assemble this craft into a toolkit full of special words!

Father's Day Toolbox Cut Out Template

Inclusive Father’s Day Craft Idea

The base template can be decorated with messages specific to the special father figure in your students’ lives. These include:

  • I couldn’t build a better dad… 
  • I couldn’t build a better grandpa.. 
  • I couldn’t build a better brother… 
  • I couldn’t build a better uncle… 
  • I couldn’t build a better stepdad… 

✂️ Give Them the (Safety) Scissors 

This template makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities. 

With adult supervision, cutting skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:

  • strengthen finger and hand muscles
  • build dexterity and fine motor skills
  • improve hand-eye coordination
  • develop focus and attention.

And all of these skills are necessary to use a pencil and a fork; button a shirt and tie shoes; write, type and swipe.

Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills!
