Supplies Needed For This Father’s Day Hammer Craft

As mentioned, you don’t need that many supplies. It’s one of the reasons I love this craft.

Supplies:

  • Template – the template comes in 2 different sizes: 8.5 x 11″ and 8 x 10″. You can print on standard paper or print as an 8×10 photo and frame it.
  • Paint (this paint is a great non-toxic paint)
  • Marker or pen
  • A child’s foot

How To Make a Father’s Day Hammer Craft From Your Kids

Start by printing off the template.

Next, you want to paint one of your child’s feet with some paint. You can do whichever color you choose, but if you use gray, then it’ll look like a hammer. Place the painted foot on top of the hammer handle. You want the heel to be around the top of the handle and the toes pointing to the left as shown in the example below.

After the paint dries, write your child’s name on the foot (if you want), and give it to Dad on Father’s Day. You could also personalize it by adding your own note too. Or you can say “Love, (child’s name)”. If you want to frame it, print off the 8×10 size and print it as a photo.

Reasons Dads Will Love This Gift

I think dads can be hard to buy for, especially from a child. I mean, they can only have so many ties. But, they can’t have too many love notes! It’s the perfect type of craft to frame and have as a forever keepsake. Dads can easily hang this in their office. It will remind them of their little one forever!
