Making a handmade card is a great way to add a personal touch to his day. Pick up some stationery supplies and let the kids try these fun ways to decorate the card:
Create pasta shapes: Glue dried pasta to the front of a card in the shape of the number 1 – perfect the world’s “Number 1 Dad”.
Add family photos: use glue to stick a favorite printed family photo or a picture of a special memory together on the front of a card.
Use colourful handprints: help younger kids add a personal touch by stamping their handprints on the cover using non-toxic paint.
Finding the right message depends on the dad! Instead of generic phrases, try using these helpful angles to craft a personalised message:
Focus on specific memories: mention a favourite family holiday, a shared hobby or a funny moment that always makes you both laugh.
Express genuine appreciation: thank him for his ongoing support, guidance or a specific way he has helped you out recently.
Match his sense of humour: if he loves a classic dad joke, lean into a lighthearted or playful message that brings a smile to his face.
Keep it collaborative for young kids: ask children what their absolute favourite thing to do with dad is, and write down their exact words for a sweet, authentic touch.
