Father's Day Card Craft: Cut, Fold, and Paste!

How to use this worksheet

First, help your child cut carefully along the solid outer lines of the card template using child-safe scissors. Next, show them how to fold the cut card in half along the center crease to form the card shape. Then have them apply a small amount of glue to the back of the tie piece and press it into place on the front of the card. Finally, help your child write or dictate a short message inside, and let them decorate the card with crayons before giving it to their special someone.
