HANDPRINT TURTLE FATHERโS DAY CARD – YOUโRE TURTLEY AWESOME!!
Hi Iโm Shikha from The Joy of Sharing. I love sharing easy, fun & educational crafts for kids. Iโm 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 Maggyโs website.
Handprint crafts alway make a lovely keepsake. Theyโre such an awesome way to cherish childโs artwork and look at their growth. Kids love tracing their handprints and itโs easy for teachers as there are no extra tools required to make them. Whatโs more, they are so versatile as you can make many different animals or objects using just handprints.
This Fatherโs Day, we decided to make a turtle card using our daughterโs handprints. Turtles are amazing amphibious animals that can live for 50+ years. Kids are always fascinated by these creatures and would love making their โYouโre Turtley Awesome Dadโ card for their dads.
Cut out the handprint keeping the top part intact.
Decorating the turtle’s shell with pom poms
Itโs time to glue pom-poms to make the turtleโs shell.
Adding the turtle’s head details
Cut out a shape of turtleโs head from green cardstock paper and glue it at the back of cardโs top side.
Stick a googly eye sticker on the turtleโs head. Make the turtleโs feet and mouth using a black marker.
Personalising the card for father’s day
Finally, let the child personalize the card with a lovely message for dad.
Thatโs it. Your kidโs handprint turtle card is ready to surprise the dad. If you enjoyed this craft, donโt forget to check some of our most loved paper plate crafts.
