How to Make Birthday Cards for Dads

When making a birthday card for dad, it is important to consider his likes and dislikes. Taking the time to be creative and thoughtful will help when making that special birthday card for dad that he will talk about for years to come.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• card stock or construction paper
• photos, magazines, and/or other craft supplies that can be used to create a card

1. Take a moment to think about the age of the child or teen making the birthday card for dad. Try to get some age appropriate ideas based on this information.

2. Gather the appropriate supplies for the birthday card. If the card is being made by a young child, for example, some construction card and crayons may be all you need!

3. Consider making a photo birthday card for dad. A picture of the child or children with dad would be one photo to consider. If that is not available, think about taking a photograph with the child or children with a handmade poster saying "Happy Birthday Dad!".

4. If you have a teenager, one wonderful idea would be to have them write their thoughts in the birthday card for dad. A handwritten card that says "I love you dad! Happy Birthday!" means so much more than a store-bought card with a simple signature.

5. Be creative and have fun! Using pictures from magazines, colored scraps of paper from around the house, and other art supplies can help with a one-of-a-kind birthday card that dad will enjoy for many years.
