Father’s Day Tie Craft Gift Wrapping

This Father’s Day tie craft is the perfect way to gift wrap a present for Dad, Grandpa, or any special man in your child’s life this Father’s Day. It is a great craft for kids ages 2-12 and Dad will love how even the bag his present comes in can be the perfect Father’s Day keepsake!

When I taught Kindergarten, this was the perfect project to do with the class for Father’s Day. We would plan ahead and start these before school lets out so we could send them home closer to Father’s Day.

We’d make these craft bags and fill out a questionnaire (one of many different ones found on teachers pay teachers) with all about Dad questions. Then we would roll up the questionnaires, stuff them inside of the craft bags, and staple them shut.

This is the perfect craft to make with a group or to make at home with your individual children. We made these crafts at home and then wrapped both Dad’s and Grandpa’s presents in them. They both loved the personalized touch!

If you are doing a craft or project that you want to wrap in this bag be sure to have it ready when you are making these bags. You will need to insert the gift into the bag before stapling it shut and adding on the tie.

When creating this project you’ll need to make sure that you have white cardstock as well as scissors, the tie template, a standard size brown lunch bag, a stapler, and colorful crayons/markers/oil pastels. If your little ones want to embellish their ties as well you may also want foam stickers, glitter, and whatever else they choose.

This craft is a simple and quick one so you will only need 15 minutes or so to complete it depending on your child’s age.

If you are interested in creating another Father’s Day keepsake to stuff the bags with be sure to also check out these handprint mason jars. They are the perfect gift for Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, or even a thank you gift for teachers. Instead of stuffing them with flowers, you could also create a mug version, pencil holder for his desk, or any other handprint keepsake Dad may like.

Another great Father’s Day gift bag stuffer would be this super fun Father’s Day questionnaire. Fill out fun answers about Dad and Dad will love looking back on the answers as your child gets older and older.
