POP-UP Father's Day Card
This is a great craft for students to complete for Father's Day! They create their own Father's Day POP-UP card.
This card has two main components:
- a base (made out of one piece of paper, 8 1/2 x 14)
- POP-UPs - 7 options to choose from
Includes step-by-step instructions, graphics and templates needed to create this POP-UP Father's Day Card.
Requires: Paper (I used regular photocopy paper but light cardstock is recommended), glue, coloring pencils and scissors.
The POP-UP Father's Day Card folds flat for students to easily transport home or expands so that DAD can display it on a shelf at home or on his desk at work. It is a lot of fun to create.
Dads will cherish this POP-UP card for years! Although many of the templates contain the word DAD, there are templates that students could use for Grandpa or Uncle, etc.

Always make sure you download and save the project before printing! Sometimes customers just right click on their preview of a download and things don't print properly! Don't forget to print on 81/2 x 14 (legal size) paper.
I know how difficult it is to find something to make for Dad's on Father's Day ... well, here is something unique! And, it's not all about ties!!!!
These DAD Banners are a great Father's Day craft that your students will love to create and Dad's, Grandpa's, Uncles will love to receive. I made sure to create a template that is generic for students who want to create for another male in their life!
There are 7 banner options to choose from. I have included step-by-step directions and visuals to help you create these banners. I have also provided a template for students to write a message to a loved one.
All students require are scissors, coloring pencils and glue.
You need to have 1 1/2" ribbon for each student and a hoop to hang the banner. I buy bracelets at the dollar store. They come 4 or more in a pack for $1. And, they are large enough to fit around most door knobs so the DAD can hang his banner on his office door. You do need to cut squares (4 x 4) ahead of time for students or bring the heavy cardstock to class and have your students cut those squares. All other templates are included in the package, all you have to do is photocopy.
Note: I think this is a great craft for most / all grade levels. The one you see in the preview is the one I'm giving to my 84 year old DAD!!!!
Another Thanksgiving craft for your students to create. This Thanksgiving Box highlights a great fall icon ... the pumpkin!
Includes two versions of the craft.

Or, you can have the students make the craft ahead of time and use them to decorate the classroom. There are 4 sides to the Thanksgiving Pumpkin Patch - each with pictures relating to fall. Please look at the pictures in the preview.
Made from regular photocopy paper (8 1/2 x 14), all students require are coloring pencils, scissors and glue (glue sticks recommended).
Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your students.

This is a really great Mother's Day craft!
Includes step-by-step instructions and templates to create three unique Mother's Day Crafts - Tea Pot, Tea Cup and Saucer, Tea Sachet.
Each product is made from just one piece of paper! I have created these products on legal sized paper so that each teapot stands about 6" tall and cups and saucers are sized accordingly. The Tea Sachet pouch fits a standard sized tea bag.
Light card stock, glue and scissors are required. The Tea Sachet will also need some ribbon and tea bags as inserts. Of course you can make all of these products with regular paper but light cardstock just makes a better finished product!
Some templates are pre-decorated and some templates have been left blank for students to decorate as they desire.
Mom's are going to love these gifts! Enjoy!
