Cut four 12 by 1 inch strips from construction paper. Fold one of the strips in half. Fold in half again. Fold in half one more time. You will have a 1 1/2 by 1 inch bundle. On one of the cut sides, make zigzag cuts. Unfold.

Do the same with the other three strips.

Bookmarks for Father's Day

fathers day bookmarks

Bookmarks are useful to use in even car manuals! Your child can choose to make a hammer or tie. We have included a PDF pattern, so the project is easy enough for preschoolers. You can download your PDF here.

Supplies;

  • PDF of bookmarks
  • Construction paper or colored printer paper
  • Color crayons or markers
  • Scissors
  • Glue

Print the PDF and cut the tie or hammer out.

You can use the PDF as a pattern, then make the tie and hammer out of construction paper like it is in the picture. Or you could print using colored paper.

An optional step is to cover your bookmark with clear contact paper (shelf liner). This will make your bookmark sturdier and last longer.

You could also use the bookmark as a Father’s Day card. Just write your message on the back.

Have fun making Sunday School Father's Day crafts. Be sure to tell Dad that you love him.
