Picture and message cards

Want something more personal than a shop-bought card?

If you’re looking to make a simple greetings-style card for Father’s Day, here’s how to do it.

1. Take any colored A4 sheet of paper and fold it in half - you can stick on strips from a different colored sheet to make it look more creative.
2. Design your front cover page - either writing or drawing directly on the card, or designing this on a separate piece of paper and sticking it on.
3. Open the card and write your message on the right-hand side.
4. You could leave the left side blank, or why not stick in a photo of yourself and your dad (or your child and their dad)?
5. Finally, apply some decorative touches of your choice - glitter, stickers and sequins will add a jazzy touch.

Peephole cards

If a simple picture and message card sounds a bit boring and your child's art skills are more advanced, you could encourage them to make a peephole card.

1. Fold a piece of paper in half - any colour will work well, depending on your preference.
2. Draw a design on the front of the card - for example, you could write "Happy Father’s Day" in big, block letters.
3. Take a pair of scissors and carefully cut these shapes out.
4. Inside the card, draw whatever design you’d like to be seen through the peephole - for example, if your dad is a footie fan you could draw footballs.
5. Decorate the rest of your card as desired.
6. Carefully glue the two inner sides of the card together - be careful not to get glue on the designs you’ve drawn inside.
7. Write your message on the back of the card and add any finishing touches.

Poem cards

If your child is good with words, why not help them write a poem instead of (or as well as) a standard Father’s Day message?

1. Start by deciding the theme of your poem - do you want it to be sentimental or more lighthearted and full of jokes?
2. Write your poem (you might find you need to write a few drafts before you’re happy).
3. Make sure your poem is short enough to fit inside the card and in large enough writing that it’s easy to read.
4. Choose a piece of card and fold it into your desired shape.
5. If your poem is going inside your card, you’ll need to decide whether you want to have a picture or "Happy Father’s Day" message on the front.
6. Add colors, glitter or stickers for extra decoration and your card is ready to present.
