HANDPRINT TURTLE FATHERโ€™S DAY CARD – YOUโ€™RE TURTLEY AWESOME!!

Hi Iโ€™m Shikha from The Joy of Sharing.  I love sharing easy, fun & educational crafts for kids. Iโ€™m a mom of a preschool girl who is my craft conspirator & co-creator. Delighted to be a part of this fantastic 31 days of dad series on Maggyโ€™s website.

Handprint crafts alway make a lovely keepsake. Theyโ€™re such an awesome way to cherish childโ€™s artwork and look at their growth. Kids love tracing their handprints and itโ€™s easy for teachers as there are no extra tools required to make them. Whatโ€™s more, they are so versatile as you can make many different animals or objects using just handprints.

This Fatherโ€™s Day, we decided to make a turtle card using our daughterโ€™s handprints. Turtles are amazing amphibious animals that can live for 50+ years. Kids are always fascinated by these creatures and would love making their โ€˜Youโ€™re Turtley Awesome Dadโ€™ card for their dads.

Join us on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram for more cute ideas for kids.

Here goes the step-by-step instructions to make this cute card for fatherโ€™s day.
