Father's Day Card: Shirt and Tie

Age: 6–9 years · Time: 40 min · Level: Easy–medium

In Sweden, Father's Day is the second Sunday in November. The card is great for Dad, a stepdad, Grandpa or another special grown-up.

Materials

• 1 sheet of heavy paper (A4 or letter size) in any color
• patterned paper, or white paper to decorate
• ruler and pencil
• scissors
• glue stick
• markers

Steps

1. Fold the heavy paper in half to make a card. The fold should be on the left.
2. Find the middle of the top edge of the front. Cut a 3 cm (about 1 inch) slit straight down there – through the front only.
3. Fold the corners on each side of the slit down and outward. Now the shirt has a collar.
4. Draw a tie, about 10 cm (4 inches) long, on the patterned paper and cut it out. You can also draw a pattern on white paper.
5. Glue the tie so that its top sits just under the collar.
6. Draw buttons and a pocket on the shirt.
7. Write a message inside, for example: Happy Father's Day! You are the best!
