Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Glue stick
• Scissors
• Tool craft template (click the “click here to get this freebie” image at the end to open the form)

Directions

Start by downloading the tool craft template and printing it out. Once you have the template printed, gather the materials needed for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this craft to life!

First, encourage your child to begin assembling the toolbox by gluing the white rectangle (which will look like the handle) to the top of the toolbox. If you prefer, you can cut out the rectangle outline on the toolbox instead.

Next, guide your child to create the front of the toolbox by gluing the “Happy Father’s Day” rectangle onto the long skinny red rectangle.

Now, glue the red rectangle onto the base of the toolbox. Remember to only put glue along the sides and bottom of the rectangle, leaving the top part open for easy tool access.

For tools with two pieces (such as the screwdriver, hammer, saw, and pencil), simply glue the pieces together as shown in the pictures.

Finally, help your child to slide them inside the toolbox. Watch as the toolbox comes to life with handmade tools made with love.
