    This Father's Day tool box craft card is going to be a hit with all the handyman dads out there!

    Father's Day is a wonderful annual celebration in which we may honor our dads, step-dads, grandfathers, and all those father figures who have had an important influence on our lives. It's a moment for us to express our love for them. What better way to show how we feel than by giving a thoughtful and lovingly prepared homemade gift?

    No matter our age, crafts are a fascinating opportunity to unleash our inner artists. Whether in our homes, summer camps, or daycares, they are an excellent way to spend quality time with our children while simultaneously teaching them essential skills.  And what better way to make Dad’s special day extra special? A homemade card!

    Father’s Day Card Crafts

    While Father's Day cards and the occasional tie craft have been traditional staples for this day, it's time to explore something new. We're aiming for a handmade card that also doubles as a gift. 

    Imagine the look on your dad's face when he realizes that the gift card he just received opens up to reveal a paper toolbox filled with colorful paper tools, each with a unique Father's Day message or dad joke written on the back of each tool with a black marker. Now that's a perfect gift for our handyman dads!

    Indeed, Father's Day is all about expressing our appreciation for the special person our dad is. Perhaps it's his dad's jokes that always make us chuckle, or his love for his favorite sport that has become a bonding experience for the family. Let's step up our game this year and add a crafty twist to our Father's Day gift ideas.

    Kids Crafting By Supplies

    Kids Crafts

    Crafts are great for letting kids express themselves! They provide an avenue for our creativity and imagination to flourish. Whether it's with finger paints, white crayons, or black construction paper, there's always something new and exciting to explore. 

    And what's the best part of crafting? It's the joy and pride we feel when we see the final product of our hard work, especially when it's a gift for someone we love.

    Think of crafting like oriental trading. We exchange ideas and come up with something new and exciting every time. It's a constant learning and growing process that brings out the best in us and our children. And for our Father's Day craft, we're going for something that represents the essence of what dads are for many of us!

    They are our superheroes, our go-to handymen, and our biggest cheerleaders. Remember, the idea isn't to create a picture-perfect model from the get-go. It's about the fun activities, the laughter, and the bonding that happens during the process.

    Paper Crafts For Kids

    Paper crafts are perfect for those new to the craft world or those who enjoy simple yet creative activities. We're talking about transforming a big rectangle of paper into a paper toolbox, decorating it with different colors, and filling it with tools crafted from paper. Doesn't it sound exciting? The possibilities are endless with paper crafting.

    Our Father's Day toolbox craft is an extra special paper craft. It involves creating a toolbox card, complete with a tool belt and tools like hammers, screwdrivers, or even Dad's favorite candy, all made of paper. The front of the toolbox and back of the toolbox can be decorated with sentence frames, dotted lines, or anything that your creative mind can conjure up.

    Father's Day is about showing our dads how special they are to us. And what better way to do that than with a homemade, hand-crafted gift? Let's make our Father's Day gift a paper toolbox, filled with love, creativity, and maybe even a few dad jokes.

    After all, the right place for the perfect gift is in our hands, and there's no better dad than the one who receives it. Now, isn't that a fantastic way to say 'Happy Father's Day'?

    How To Make Tool Box Card DIY

    Here are the step-by-step directions for making this DIY Father's Day Card.

    tool box craft template

    Print out the template for tools (Grab your free printable template below). Cut each of the tools out.

    cut out tools for craft

    Trace each of the toolbox pieces onto different construction paper colors.

    glue paper tools together

    Glue the parts of the screwdriver together and the parts of the hammer together.

    create a yard stick for toolbox

    Cut a rectangle piece of paper out of yellow paper and draw on numbers and lines to create a ruler.

    Next, you're going to make the base of your card and the toolbox shape. We went with a brown piece of paper and fold it in half. If you are simply making this a craft, cut the half piece of paper out.

    add paper pocket to tool card

    Next, cut out a rectangular piece of blue paper for the front of the card. This is going to act as a pocket, so when gluing it to the front of the card, make sure to only glue the sides and the bottom.

    add all tools to tool card

    Make sure that your tools all slip into your pocket but yet are still able to be seen.

    write dad on front of tool card

    The last step is to add "Dad" to the front and make the dashed line around the bottom to mimic a pocket. Then add a special message to Dad on the inside of the card and or things you love about him on the back side of each tool.

    Viola, you have a sweet and kind gift for Dad!
