GET CREATIVE WITH A NECKTIE GREETING CARD +  LINK TO FREE PRINTABLE!

Lauren did a "Necktie Theme" greeting card, Click Here To Check Out FREE Printable Necktie Greeting Card Template we used. There are several versions of doing a Necktie Greeting Card but this version seems to be the easiest. The kids can just fold a paper then add the necktie with collar template to complete the greeting card.

This printable has 4 kinds of necktie templates: #1. BLANK OR PLAIN (with this template, kids have the option of creating their own designs on the blank necktie) and ready to color neckties in #2. STRIPE, #3. SMILEY, and #4. STARS print (with this template, kids can immediately color the patterns or prints on the necktie according to their own preference).

Lauren used the templates with the ready to color patterns in them. Lauren made 2 cards: one for her DAD and one for her GRANDPA. She made the ones with the stars and stripe necktie in them while the one with the smiley necktie was made by her little cousin who also joined us in making this activity. The kids simply used a white paper and color it with crayon for their cards.

The kids had fun creating the cards, they made their dads and grandpa feel happy and special too. If you're looking for a Father's Day greeting card craft to do with the kids I highly suggest you pick and try this "Necktie Greeting Card" craft. Aside from it is the easiest, there are many ways and possibilities for the kids to get creative with it using any of the templates and a variety of paper and coloring materials.
