🧢 New! All About My Dad Activity Page
Let’s start with the brand new printable that’s quickly become one of my favorites: the All About My Dad activity page!
This sweet little sheet is designed to help kids reflect on all the fun and quirky things that make their dad one of a kind. It’s packed with fun prompts, playful illustrations, and plenty of room for coloring and creativity.
Here’s what’s on the page:
“My Dad’s Name Is” – Kids can write their dad’s name inside a fun banner frame.
“His Favorite Color Is” – Whether it’s blue, green, or “just coffee,” this is always a fun one to guess.
“My Dad Is Really Good At” – Get ready for adorable answers like “making pancakes,” “being silly,” or “fixing everything.”
“My Dad’s Favorite Food Is” – Pizza? BBQ? Peanut butter right from the jar? This always brings out personality.
“My Dad Always Says” – This prompt is where the giggles happen. Kids tend to quote all the funny phrases they hear around the house.
“My Dad and I Like to…” – Whether it’s building Legos, watching movies, or telling corny jokes, this prompt is all about connection.
A Space to Draw a Picture of Dad – This is where the real magic happens. Stick figures, mustaches, capes—bring them on!
A Final Message Box – Perfect for a little “I love you,” a signature, or a bonus doodle.
The design is packed with playful doodles like hats, sunglasses, fries, and stars—and it’s all in black and white so kids can make it their own with markers, crayons, or colored pencils. It works great for kids of all ages, whether they’re writing full sentences or just sharing their answers out loud while you fill it in for them.
Frame it, or glue it onto construction paper for a keepsake that Dad will want to keep forever.
