When it is time to show gratitude, nothing is more touching than a sincere message, and that’s how the coolest Father’s Day card ideas step in. If your dad is sentimental, likes to laugh or something in between, a very well planned card could express the unsaid words. Here we are going to introduce a selection of brilliant, funny, and emotional Father’s Day card ideas which will help you to convey your love in an incomparable and impressive way through the following.
Simple Cards Even Toddlers Can Handle
Everything a toddler does means abstract art, even when he’s only four years old. That’s okay and we love it all. Beyond a doubt, most of the coolest Father’s Day cards that I got were made from wild scribbles and blobs of paint. If it’s made with your kid’s tiny hands, it’s a hit. And if you’re wondering what to write in a Father’s Day card, just know it doesn’t have to be perfect just heartfelt.

The Handprint Hug Card
Put a piece of paper in a folded position. Ask your kid to trace both their hands. Cut the shapes and attach them with a strip of paper that looks like arms hugging. Inside the card, write the words “A lovely way of showing you how much I love you!” Thumbs up for a preschooler. The easiest to make.
Fingerpaint Tie Card
Draw a tie that has a big size. Have your little one paint all over it using fingers. Dots, smears, random lines, the more, the merrier. Stick that to a folded paper and let him or her scribble inside if he or she is in a comical mood. It’s quite a mess. But in the end, it’s all so lovely and so charming. Trust me on that one!
Easy Father’s Day Cards Using Stuff You Already Have
No need to go shopping. Look around, scan your magazines, cereal boxes, scrap paper, or maybe that corner with still unused construction paper from the last year.
One-of-a-Kind Collage Card
Provide them with the safety scissors and a set of old magazines. Ask them to cut out pieces that “Dad would like” and then tell you what they have. So, my little one, then, chose the following: a dog, a burger, and a man wearing shades. Stick all these on a card and you’re finished.
Design a Frame Card with Ice Cream Sticks
Now, by means of glue, the sticks are arranged in a square. Children are allowed to use either a brush for painting or markers for coloring the sticks. Take a small card to insert behind it like a tiny frame. On the card, write something lovely or funny such as “Dad, you are the best.” Attach it to the refrigerator by using tape.
Father’s Day Cards with Funny Kid Humor
Kids are famous for their not-so-common statements. So, email the one you can use. Funny Father’s Day cards are the winners in the game of gifts. In one of the earlier years, my niece designed a funny Father’s Day card in which she drew her dad as a superhero but added a toilet for its cape.

Draw Dad As Anything Card
Just tell your kid to draw Dad as something weird through the method of their choice. That may be a superhero, a taco, a dragon—just anything which your kid finds relevant. Add some text, for example, “You are very spicy, Dad.” There won’t be any other reactions than tears due to laughter guaranteed. And if you’re looking for the perfect line to pair with it, check out these 40 best Father’s Day quotes to make your dad smile.
Dad Joke Flip Card
Use the panel folding technique which involves a piece of paper. On each, your child will jot down a hilarious joke or pun:
- “What do you call a dad who grills? A rare steak-holder!”
- “You’re un-beer-lievable!” Let them draw a little too. It doesn’t have to be good looking.
Sweet and Cute Card Ideas That Still Take 10 Minutes
If you have a child who is in a mood for a nice card (or you just want to say something sweet), these are pretty much cool without being too time-consuming.
“Reasons I Love Dad” List Card
Start by folding the paper. One, please then, write “5 Reasons I Love Dad” on the cover of the page, and finally, ask the child to write the rest of it. You will be surprised at what your child can come with such as “He smells like popcorn” and “He helps me when my butt hurts.”
Drawing Memory Card
Ask the kid to draw the most favorite moment with dad – very interesting and this could be drawing a castle, cooking pancakes, or watching cartoons in their pajamas. Characters that are not well-drawn are still acceptable. The ideas are the most important thing.
Cards for Kids Who Can Cut, Glue, and Focus (A Little)
If you a bit older or is in love with DIY, you may involve them in more complicated projects without making them bored. However, all that is needed is a new appearance of the “gifted” item, since they can’t have a large toolkit and an impressive amount of time to do the work.
Watercolor Splash Card
Set the foamboard! Kids can afford to make a mess with it. Use watercolor, but do it on the cardstock. The next time around, write over the colours with black marker that leaves bold imprints.
Accordion Photo Card
Take 3-4 photos that are ready to print in small sizes. Prepare a piece of paper in a way that you can fold it like an accordion. Paste the photos inside and then write something like “Best pancake maker” or “King of the BBQ”. You can fold it which is very convenient and feels like a mini photo album.
Fast Last-Minute Cards That Don’t Look Last-Minute
Did you wake up late this morning only to realize that today is Father’s Day? You don’t have to feel embarrassed. Pick up cardstock, a pen, and one from the list of quick ideas:
Get any single paper and just fold it in half. Leave it to the child who can do something in a second. Draw a heart. Draw a pizza. Draw a stick dad that sports a mustache. The final step is adding your loving and affectionate “Love you, Dad” message and voilà, you are all set.
High-Five Card
Take your kid’s hand and write it like this: “A high-five from me to the greatest dad!”. If possible, use even stickers. This is a simple, very sweet thing that could be finished in 2 minutes.

Let the Kids Write Their Own Message (Even If It’s Weird)
Don’t think about it too much. They can write whatever they like, it may sound strange or be very poetic, nevertheless, it will remain authentic to them. Even, if it says something like “Thank you for driving so fast, Dad, and letting me eat at the same time.”
That type of card always finds a place in the sock drawer for a few years.
