Father's Day Craft Activities

Today is Make-it Monday!  I have two fun Father’s Day craft activities to show you today, plus a Father's Day writing freebie! 

Getting a homemade gift is always fun, and it’s even better when it’s from your child!  Here are two different crafts for Father’s Day that are easy for your students or your own children to make.

The first craft is this simple Father’s Day tie shape book.  After you’ve made enough copies, students simply have to cut out the shape, staple together, and fill in the pages.  It’s always fun to read what your child writes about you!

 The writing prompts are:

1) My dad is really good at ____.

2) My dad likes to eat ____.

3. My dad likes to play ____.

4) My dad and I go to ____.

5) My dad likes to watch ____.

6) I love my dad because ____.

7) Here’s a picture of my dad and me.  (This page has space for the child to draw a picture.)

The second craft is a coupon wallet.  It comes with a wallet template and nine coupons, plus three blank coupons for students to create-their-own coupon. 

 Students can assemble the wallet in these four easy steps:

1. Color the wallet.

2. Cut out the wallet around the outside.

3. Fold the wallet lengthwise and glue or staple just the short edges.

4. Fold the wallet in half on the dashed line to create the wallet.

Add the coupons to the wallet and you're done!

For both crafts, I included versions for “Grandpa” and “Uncle”.

Rainbow Acrostic Poems

Hey Friends!  It's Andrea from I Heart Kindergarten and I am enjoying my first day of Spring Break!  Spring is such a fun time in the classroom and we enjoy spending time on crafts and projects as the school year winds down and we get ready for summer.

Today is Make-It-Monday and I'd like to share a fun writing craftivity that always makes a great hallway display!  Rainbow Name Acrostic Poems!  My kiddos love doing anything that involves their names!  

To start, we spend a few days brainstorming a list of adjectives for each letter of the alphabet.  Yes, these adjectives are large words and many that my kinders have never heard before.  However, I think it's important to expose kids to as much vocabulary as possible, so we venture into the world of hard words a lot!  I find it's especially good for my English Language Learners.  

Once we have all of our adjective lists and they are displayed around the room, we work on our acrostic poems!  Each child will need a white cloud and several strips of colored paper.  At this point in the year the kids should be able to cut out their own clouds.  They will write their names on their clouds, then use the colored strips to write an adjective for each letter of their names.

  

 

Enjoy!
