With Father's Day approaching, I though this is the right time to share what we did for last year's Father's Day. Mini and I made this cute little Papa Bear card for Mini's dad. I found this adorable card idea from Pinterest and was so happy with how easy it was to make something so cute!
He was only 2.4 years old and so this was mostly done by me under his close supervision! Oh well, he did help stick the little eyes and pompoms! :)
This is a fun little project to do with older toddlers who have just about gotten control of their scissor skills. Maybe this year again I will try making the same with him, only this time I will draw a circle and let him cut it out by himself!
Things Needed:
- Craft Paper - Two A4 sheets of paper. One dark and one light shades of any colour of your choice.
- Googly Eyes
- Pompom
- Glue
- Scissors
- Pencil
How to make it:
- Fold the darker shade of paper in half.
- Starting at the fold of the sheet, draw a 3/4th circle, leaving about 2-2.5 inches of the folded area in place (that going to be where the card opens up)
- You can choose to cutout a piece of the lighter shade of paper (in the shape of the 3/4th circle) and stick it in the inside of this folded 3/4th circle just to give a different pop of colour when the card is opened. I used dark green for the front of the face and light green for the inside.
- Cut out two rounds of the darker shade of paper and two smaller rounds of the lighter shade of paper. (These will make ears).
- Cut out a slightly bigger round of the lighter shade for the mouth.
- Now, just glue all the pieces together as shown in the picture. Glue on the googly eyes and pompom for nose.
- Your card is almost ready. Add in your personalised message and there you go... a very cute handmade Father's Day card is ready for Papa dearest! :)
