DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Sailboat Card for Father's Day

Good shapes and colors practice.

Poem to write on the bottom of the boat:  

"I'd sail the seven seas for you, Daddy!"

or

"I'd sail the seven seas for you, Grandpa!"

You can glue this to the front of a construction paper card or as a "gift tag" on a wrapped present.  The bottom of the boat unfolds to reveal a hidden message.
 

Instructions:

• Have the child trace a small plate (dessert plate) on a piece of construction paper.
• Cut out the circle  (adult assistance may be required).
• Fold the circle in half.
  • A message can be written inside.
  • on the outside, write, "I'd sail the seven seas for you, Daddy!"
• Have the child cut a long strip of black construction paper (or use a popsicle stick) for the mast
     
• Make the sails one of two ways:
  • make a two fingerpaint handprints on contrasting colored construction paper.  Cut out a rough triangle shape around the handprints
    
    OR.
  • Trace two hands onto a piece of construction paper.  Cut out and glue to a contrasting triangle of construction paper
