Alrighty, now you have the file, go ahead and print it on regular paper or some heavier card stock. Take a peek at some of the inside pages…there’s fun prompts for drawing, cute fill-in-the-blanks and a set of coupons for Dad…pretty awesome, right?!
If you’re a stickler for detail, go ahead and cut off the thin white edges (scissors, an X-acto knife against a ruler or one of these easy-peasy paper trimmers will get the job done super quick).
Now fold the pages in half and grab some form of glue – we used both a regular ol’ kids glue stick and a spray adhesive and both worked well.
Put the front/back cover page to one side and then organize the other pages back-to-back with the “I love my dad/grandpa because he…” checklist page in the middle. Like this:
Use your glue to stick them together and then grab that cover. Wrap it around the interior pages and secure with more glue.
And voila, your card is now ready for your kids’ creativity!
(PS – if you really don’t want to go the glue route, simply fold the pages and place them inside each other for a single-sided booklet (use the blank sides for more kiddo drawings!). Staple the outside edge to bind together. You can even cover the staples with a strip of washi tape if you happen to have any.

I loved the mother’s day booklet you created, and I think this one is great, too! I love the colors and understated design…it doesn’t limit itself to dads that are sporty, or love golf, it’s just manly. 🙂
These are so cute!!! Thank you!
This book is so adorable! I love how personalized it is and helps kids be able to express their feelings towards their Dads.
This was so exciting to create with my lil guy!! He had so much fun and bless his heart, he was soooo patient with me! I have to work hard to be ‘crafty’, creative (it took me about 45 minutes to figure out how to fold it! and 3 printed cards to get it folded and glued correctly!!). Thank you so much for sharing this!! Without a doubt, his daddy will get a little emotional!! <3
We’re so happy it all turned out – tag us in a pic on FB or Instagram after you give it to him so we can see all your hard work!
