Father’s Day Letters Card Craft is a joyful and creative activity that invites students to spell out their love for Dad in a bold, hands-on way. With foldable D-A-D letter templates and flexible writing and drawing options, this meaningful project supports expressive literacy, fine motor development and heartfelt celebration, all wrapped up into a one-of-a-kind keepsake card for Father’s Day.

Students complete one letter at a time, using either blank, sectioned or prompted versions of the templates to write messages, draw pictures, or respond to sentence starters such as “I love you because...” or “You’re the best because...”. Once finished, the letters are cut out, folded and joined using the tab guides to create a standing or fold-out “DAD” card. This resource is simple to implement, adaptable to different year levels and encourages thoughtful reflection through art and writing.
