Use this to paint over the wax crayon pictures to create the sky and the grass.\u00a0Wax resists water, so it creates a really lovely effect.<\/li>\n<li>A lovely way to finish off the card would be to get your children to make a<br \/>\nhand print each inside the card.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><u>Simple Father\u2019s Day Card Magazine Collage<\/u><\/h2>\n<p>My sons love to make collages.\u00a0\u00a0I like to keep a stash of free supermarket magazines and old newspaper glossy supplements as they are very handy for the kids to practise their cutting skills on and create lovely collages with. This wouldn\u2019t be suitable for my toddler yet, but it\u2019s a perfect craft for my 4 and 6 year old boys.\u00a0\u00a0Pre-schoolers will benefit from this activity especially because not only do they get to create a unique card for Daddy, they also get to show off their letter recognition skills.<\/p>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fathersday-064.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2704\" src=\"https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fathersday-064.jpg\" alt=\"fathers day magazine collage card\" width=\"600\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fathersday-064.jpg 600w, https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fathersday-064-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You will need: a few magazines, scissors, card, glue<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Fold a piece of coloured card into two.<\/li>\n<li>Go through magazines and snip out all of the letters needed to make \u201cHappy<br \/>\nFather\u2019s Day\u201d or whatever message you want to put onto the card.<\/li>\n<li>Glue the letters onto the card.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><u>Lolly Stick Frame for Father&#8217;s Day<\/u><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is a lovely craft if you want to incorporate a photograph or maybe some hand or prints into your card.\u00a0\u00a0You can simply add the frame over your photograph or prints to gives them a lovely finish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fathersday-063.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2705\" src=\"https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fathersday-063.jpg\" alt=\"Fathers Day Lolly Stick Frame\" width=\"600\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fathersday-063.jpg 600w, https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/fathersday-063-300x278.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<h2><u>Decorate a Paper Plate for Father&#8217;s Day<\/u><\/h2>\n<p>Using a paper plate instead of the more traditional shape of a card can add a bit of extra fun.
