Football Father’s Day Card Craft for Kids
Supplies
- Card stock or construction paper
- Empty recycled egg carton
- Brown paint
- White paint
- Scissors
- Paintbrushes: One regular sized and one smaller for details
- All purpose glue
- Glue Stick
- Printable Most Valuable Dad Football PDF Template
Instructions
- Use the scissors to cut one section of the egg carton. Trim around the bottom so that the egg carton piece lays flat on the surface.
- Paint the entire egg carton piece brown. Allow the paint to dry completely.
- Use scissors to cut two slits on each side of the carton piece. Squish together and glue together to form the shape of a football. You can also use tape to secure it together to form the football shape.
- Once the football shape is formed, use the small paintbrush and white paint to make the football details.
- Cut along the black border of the PDF template. Then cut the card stock to 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches, leaving enough space so that you have a border once printable is attached in the next step.
- Use the glue stick to adhere the Most Valuable Dad template to the cardstock. Attach the egg carton football to the card with a generous amount of all purpose glue. Allow the glue to dry completely.
- Sign your card and include a handwritten message for that extra special touch.
