A great way for kids of all ages to show their appreciation for Dad is with a homemade gift! They will enjoy creating something special just for Dad and learn the importance of gift-giving as a way to say “thank you.”
Here is a homemade card idea from Martha Stewart that was just too adorable not to share with our Kidtastics Moms…
Father’s Day Cutout Frame
Photo cards are always a great way to showcase photos of your children. Did you know that after your swimming semester at Kidtastics, we will send you under water photos of your children taken during their lessons? So for this Father’s Day – and any day! - what a perfect way to show Dad your child’s accomplishments with this homemade card! He will smile when he sees his little one kicking, diving, and swimming around.
Directions:
1. Cut out a sheet of colorful paper with a width that's divisible by three; ours is 12 inches (the height is 7). Use a ruler to divide width into three equal parts; fold paper at those points. Unfold. Fold left flap over middle (these panels will be card's front), then fold both in half. Draw a half circle (or half square) over outer fold as shown; cut out, cutting through all layers, just outside line.
2. Trim cutouts. Lay one on photo; trace. Cut out photo; glue onto cutout.
3. Glue string between photo and the other cutout (or another photo). Place string in fold of middle flap, positioning photo in hole; glue left flap to middle, trapping string inside. Trim string.
