What You’ll Need

• Paper (plain or coloured)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Book Base

Take 3–5 sheets of paper and neatly fold them in half. This will form the pages of your mini book.

2. Bind the Book

Secure the folded edge using a stapler or tape to hold the pages together. Make sure it’s firm so the book stays intact.

3. Fill the Pages

Encourage your child to dedicate each page to something special about their dad. Ideas include:

• Favourite activity they do together

• A funny memory

• What makes their dad special

• Reasons why they love him

4. Decorate Each Page

Let your child get creative with drawings, colours, and stickers to bring each page to life.

5. Design the Cover

Create a front cover with a title such as “All About My Dad” or “My Dad Is Amazing”. Add drawings or patterns to make it extra special.

Make It Even More Fun 🎨

You can even print off our free Father’s Day colouring pages and use them to decorate the book once your little one has finished colouring. This adds even more personality and colour to the final creation.
