Materials You'll Need
FREE Trophy Template (available for download)
Markers, colored pencils, or crayons
Scissors
Glue
Step 1: Print
Start by printing out the trophy template. You can find the template at the bottom of this post, or you can design your own if you're feeling extra creative! Ensure that the template includes a base, handles, and the "Number One Dad" plaque. Use cardstock paper to make sure your trophy stands up well.
Step 2: Color
Once you have your printed template, it’s time to add some color. Let the kids (or your inner child) take charge here. Use markers, crayons, or colored pencils to decorate the trophy. Go wild with colors, patterns, and designs – this is where you can really personalize the trophy. You might want to use gold or silver colors to give it a real trophy feel.
On the base of the trophy, there's a plaque that reads "You're The Best Because...". This is your child's opportunity to make the trophy extra meaningful by sharing something that makes their dad so special. Let them write a heartfelt message that highlights their dad's unique qualities. If your child is too young to write, you can assist them in writing a message or encourage them to draw a picture that illustrates how they feel about their dad.
Step 3: Cut
Once the coloring is complete, carefully cut out the trophy, following the lines as precisely as possible. If your kids are doing the cutting, make sure they are using child-safe scissors and have adult supervision.
To make the craft easier, you can simply cut around the outer shape of the trophy, leaving the blank space inside the handles. There's no need to struggle with cutting out those intricate details!
Step 4: Glue
Now it's time to put everything together! Start by gluing the base of the trophy to give it the stability it needs to stand up straight. Using a glue stick, apply glue to the bottom left of the trophy base where it says "GLUE."
Grab that end and wrap it around the bottom, attaching it to the other side of the base. This will make your trophy 3D and give it a sturdy base to stand up straight unassisted.
Congratulations! Your Father’s Day trophy is now complete and ready to be presented to the best dad in the world. This homemade gift is sure to bring a smile to his face and remind him of your love and appreciation every time he looks at it.
