Toolbox Craft for Father’s Day

A father’s job above all else is to teach his children. This toolbox craft for father’s day is about the tools he has given them! It also is free to print out and has some tools that your little one can cut out and paste into the toolbox. Or you can leave them out, it looks adorbs either way.

Since this printable is focusing on the “tools” a father has given his child I thought it would be a good idea to mention that I have a post about the parenting style we use in our home. It’s called gentle parenting and emphasizes the teaching role we have as parents.

I have always loved homemade and crafty gifts. Homemade gifts are perfect for any time but especially during mother’s day or father’s day, a homemade gift is truly treasured by a parent. Anyone can go out and buy a gift off of the shelf in a store. With a homemade gift, you are getting something that your child has taken time to prepare and takes pride in. Definitely, something that will be going into a memory box for later enjoyment.

So last year I had a superhero footprint project for father’s day and I did a footprint project for mother’s day. This year I am doing more printables because they are easier for me to make and don’t require my children’s cooperation 😂.

Toolbox

Let’s talk about the tools. Father’s give children can help their child learn how to use a hammer or screwdriver. They can teach them how to fix a car, or build a tree house. They can give them real tools, but the greater gift is the tools that their father gives them to live and be in the world. If your child is having difficulty with coming up with things you can give them some sentence ideas.

Asking these open-ended questions should get you some great answers for the tools that dad has given them.

Writing

This project involves writing so you can have your child write it on their own if they can. Or it can be written by an adult with the sentence starters as a guide to helping figure out what those “tools” are. My daughter cannot write but likes to trace her letters for practice so I would probably go that route. Or you can just have your child paste on the tools.

Printable

Make sure to print this out on some nice cardstock. Especially if you are going to frame it we give it as a part of your father’s day activities. It will stand up to the test of time if you use it and it will be a better image then using regular old copy paper. If that is all you have though, that will do just fine. Also, the file will be in PDF format so that you get the best quality image out of it.
