DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids
Sailboat Card for Father's Day

Contributed by a viewer!

Good shapes and colors practice.

Poem to write on the bottom of the boat:  

"I'd sail the seven seas for you, Daddy!"

or

"I'd sail the seven seas for you, Grandpa!"

 

You can glue this to the front of a construction paper card or as a "gift tag" on a wrapped present.  The bottom of the boat unfolds to reveal a hidden message
