Make a Father's Day Card

If it's too late to run to the shops then why not make a Father's Day card? 

Click on the pictures below to find out how.  Ask an adult to help if you find it difficult to use scissors.

Finished father's day card (inside)

Write 'Dear Dad' or whoever you're sending your card to (this could be a Step-Dad, Grandpa, Uncle or family friend).
Write a greetings message.
Sign off your card with your name.
Personalise your card by adding a poem or a picture on the inside cover. You could also decorate the tie.

Can you write some instructions to explain how you made your card?  What other types of card could you make for Father's Day?  The idea could be adapted to a birthday card instead.
