Father’s Day Painted Cards & Tape Collage Bookmarks

Dad’s are hard right? I know I’m not the only one who struggles with trying to come up with something meaningful and desirable to give the Dads. I wanted to add something more than this, but I wasn’t coming up with anything more. The kids painted “DAD” cards with liquid watercolors. They were given a variety of colors & they all turned out great.

Our bookmarks are made using adding machine tape paper {although any paper can be used of course}. There’s a story about that – a friend who was visiting made her own projects using the roll of paper  & colored masking tape that’s out in our writing center & I loved the idea! To personalize them, I took pictures of each child with Instagram for the back. Originally I thought a strip of 3 or 4 pictures of each child would be fun but it’s hard enough to get one picture of each child! After gluing it all to cardstock I laminated them, punched a hole in the top & added ribbon.

Hope all the Dads have a great Father’s Day!
