Supplies Needed

To make this Father’s Day toolbox craft, you will need:

• Printable toolbox craft Printable (Buy from our Printable shop)
• Cardstock or Thick Printing Paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Crayons, markers, or colored pencils (For Black and White version)
• Pencil/pen for writing

Cardstock works best because it makes the toolbox sturdier, especially when kids insert the tools inside.

How to Make the Father’s Day Toolbox Craft

First, print the craft pages.

You can use

• the colour version for a quick no-prep activity
• or the black-and-white version if kids would like to colour their own toolbox.

Next, cut out the toolbox and tool pieces. If you are using the black-and-white version, let kids colour the pieces before cutting.

Have children write their answers on the tool prompts. They can also add small drawings to make the craft extra personal.

Then, assemble the toolbox by folding and glueing the sides to create a pocket. Once the toolbox is ready, kids can insert the completed tools inside.

Now the craft is ready to gift to Dad!

Father’s Day Writing Prompt Ideas

The tool pieces include sweet writing prompts that help kids share their thoughts about Dad. These prompts make the craft more meaningful and turn it into a keepsake.

Here are some examples of what kids can write:

• I love my dad because…
• My dad is really good at…
• The best thing Dad has taught me…
• One thing Dad always says is…
• If Dad had a superhero name, it would be…
• Dad, I really want to tell you…

Younger kids can dictate their answers to an adult or draw pictures instead of writing full sentences.
