Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Cut the top of the construction paper (any color) into an "M" shape.
-
Step 2
Fold the M-shaped area over, then have a student draw a line down the center of the paper (pencil first) and draw or glue on three paper circles or use real buttons.
-
Step 3
Make a tie from construction paper or you can certainly use the bottom part of an old tie. (Most men probably have a tie that they know they can do without, or you can just get some scrap fabric and use that.)
-
Step 4
Fasten the tie to the top of the card using glue or a stapler. Do not fasten the bottom of the tie, as you may have the student write under it.
-
Step 5
Fold the collar flaps down, then draw a button on each collar flap or glue on an actual small-sized button.
-
Step 6
Have the kids write something to their fathers.

When the kids write something for their fathers they could also include it in a Father's Day Card.
Making a tie is a really cute idea. Most of the time guys complain because they are tired of getting ties but that sounds like it would be a very unique tie lol
Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas for the kids.
