Father’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a sweet and simple card created by little hands? I’m excited to share a brand new Father’s Day printable coloring page keepsake for kids just for this occasion — a Father’s Day coloring and painting page designed with preschoolers in mind! Download the free printable page at the bottom of this post.
This Father’s Day coloring page printable includes a fun mix of words kids use to talk about their father figures: Dad, Dada, Father, Daddy, Pop, and Papa — ready to be colored, painted, or even finger-painted! Alongside the words and “Happy Father’s Day” phrase are simple, bold images that children love to recognize and decorate:
- a coffee mug labeled “dad”
- a baseball cap
- a fish
- a mustache
- a necktie
- a trophy
- a heart with DAD written inside
Easy Art for All Ages
Whether your children are toddlers or preschoolers, this activity is adaptable:
- Liquid watercolors work especially well, letting the lines of the artwork show through while adding soft, blended color.
- For younger children, try finger painting with light-colored or thinned-down paints.
- Print on cardstock for sturdiness.
- Mount on colorful construction paper or scrapbook paper for an easy and heartfelt gift.
This printable makes a perfect classroom project or take-home gift for Father’s Day.
