Ready for simplicity? Check it out!
Father’s Day Craft Supplies
- 3 (or more) Photo frames
- White card stock
- Markers
That’s seriously it, you guys!
Having the ability to draw a killer heart & create script-hand lettering can be a huge bonus if you’re making this with littles that can’t write yet!! However, letting the kiddos go wild and make this gift for Dad their own is a great option too!
Crazy simple supplies and super budget-friendly! Especially if you buy good quality, low-priced frames.
Clearance can be an easy solution if you’re looking for unique frames at a smaller price point.
However, if you’re on a time crunch you can easily find a good selection of simple frames for $5 or less!
Consider pairing this Father’s Day craft idea with one of our favorite handprint crafts to take this gift idea to the next level!
Budget Friendly Frames
- Wood Grain Frame – This frame is super simple and so incredibly budget-friendly! You can seriously throw this craft together for under $10 using these frames. Say what?!
- Simple White Frame– A little more pricey than the frames above, but these ones supply such a super clean look! Can’t really go wrong with a white frame like this!
- Linear Frames – This one has a classic look Dad will love. Plus, it comes in multiple colors!
- Unfinished Frame – These are a great option if you have a little extra time on your hands! Your kids can paint their own frames for Daddy, or you can finish them with a stain to match your home decor. Plus, they definitely won’t hurt the wallet.
Instructions
- First, you will need to do a little prep work by picking up 3 photo frames.
- Second, cut your card stock down to size so that it will fit into the photo frames easily.
*NOTE: I used 3 – 3.5 x 5 photo frames when I did this with my kids a few years back.
- Using your markers, write the words WE ♡ DAD, writing one word on each piece of card stock.
*TIP: If your children are older, encourage them to do this part themselves & get creative with it!
- Now for the best part, plan a super quick photoshoot! Get some shots of your kids individually holding their frames.
- Once all photos have been taken, print the pictures and put them straight into the same picture frame!
I told you this was easy, right?! Wasn’t even kidding!
My husband absolutely loved this gift! A picture of his kids holding the same frame their picture was in… pretty cool!

If you have more (or less) than 3 kiddos, one of these simple solutions should help.
- Simply add extra words to the mix – try something like We love you Dad (perfect for 4 kids)
- Mix up the wording completely – try other fun dad-related sayings such as Dad Rocks! (perfect for 2 kids)
- Spell it out instead – Try spelling the word Daddy or Grandpa, putting one letter in each frame instead of doing a phrase! (perfect for 5+ kids!)
Only have one child? Easy Peasy.
- Keep it simple – use the simple phrase I ♡ DAD all in a single frame. Pick a larger frame and make it stand out.
- Make it funny – using the phrase Just Like Dad, take multiple photos of your child in different poses or make silly faces.
