It’s time to get creative for Father’s Day!!! We adore making Father’s Day Crafts for Kids, along with broader Father’s Day Gift Ideas… but putting together a piece of Art for Dad on Father’s Day (or for Dad’s Birthday) creates a genuinely special keepsake.
Hopefully, this roundup will encourage you to get creative!
Father’s Day Art Activities for Children
This is one of my all-time favourite Father’s Day activities. My children made these drawings using a special method that I developed with them and guided them through. Afterwards, we photocopied them and filled them with bright pop-art colours. Such fun! Take a look at the complete Pop Art Father’s Day Project instructions here.
How about creating some Andy Warhol-inspired art for Dad? Pair Dad’s handprint with your child’s to create these fantastic Handprint Pop Art projects!
This beautiful guest post demonstrates how simple it can be to create this Father’s Day Dad Rock Art project, complete with printables and straightforward step-by-step directions! I especially love that the artwork is a “Dad & Me” portrait rather than “just” a Dad portrait. So sweet. Plus, rock painting is popular with everyone right now.. isn’t it?!
This easy art activity is ideal for younger children – my kids adore bringing out the paints.. purchase a few very affordable frames (or make some from cardboard) and let the children embellish them. I usually suggest selecting only two primary colours, so the result does not turn entirely brown! I love that the two frames look so different.. Red Ted enjoys being precise, while his sister prefers mixing!!
Likewise, little ones will love the creative process of crafting beautiful collage photo frames.
You’re out of this world! I also love the process of creating your own watercolours for this project!

This wonderful art activity comes from Art Projects for Kids and explores the use of Oil Pastel. It brought to mind a Pop Up collection of hearts from our Valentine’s Day series some time ago, and I thought combining the two ideas would be ideal!
Why not try creating a portrait of Dad? It might seem daunting initially, but Deep Space Sparkle offers an excellent set of detailed instructions that guide you through each stage!
Resist art is always a wonderful choice for children. This result from Thriving Home is fantastic.
