How To Draw A Dad Puppet For Father’s Day

Celebrating Father’s Day with a Fun Drawing Activity

Father’s Day is coming soon, and a great way to celebrate is by drawing a picture of your dad! This guide will help you make a special drawing that you can customize to look just like your dad or someone special.

Materials Needed

Before we start, make sure you have these materials:

• Drawing paper
• Markers
• Scratch paper (to protect your table)

Step 1: Prepare Your Paper

First, fold your drawing paper. Take the top edge and match it with the bottom edge, then press down in the middle. Next, fold the top flap down to the top edge and press it again. Flip the paper over and do the same thing. Unfold it and lay the paper flat. This will help guide your drawing.

Step 2: Drawing the Face

1. Draw the Nose: Start by drawing a nose in the center of your paper.
2. Add Eyes: Draw two circles for the eyes. Inside each eye, add a smaller circle in the top left corner and color in the larger circle, leaving the smaller one white.
3. Create the Mouth: Draw a line for the mouth along the fold, making it larger by extending it below the fold.

Step 3: Shape the Head

1. Outline the Head: Draw a U-shape around the nose and eyes to form the head. Make sure to go past the fold.
2. Add a Beard: If you want, draw a beard that goes across the mouth and under the eyes.

Step 4: Add Details

1. Mustache: Draw a mustache above the mouth. You can make it simple or detailed.
2. Hair or Hat: Draw your dad’s hairstyle, or add a hat by drawing a curve above the head.

Step 5: Draw the Ears and Shoulders

1. Ears: Add ears by drawing a “C” shape on one side and a backward “C” on the other.
2. Shoulders: Draw curves extending from the beard downwards to create the shoulders.

Step 6: Add Clothing

1. Shirt: Draw two diagonal lines coming down from the chin to form the shirt. You can add a tie or make it a polo shirt.
2. Details: Add buttons or any other details that show your dad’s style.

Step 7: Final Touches

1. Connect the Features: Flatten out the folds and connect the sides of the face, mouth, and beard.
2. Draw Teeth and Tongue: Add teeth inside the mouth and a tongue using simple shapes.

Step 8: Color Your Drawing

Now that your drawing is complete, it’s time to add color! Choose any colors you like, and add fun details inside the fold, like your dad’s favorite treats or snacks.

Step 9: Create a Puppet

To turn your drawing into a puppet:

1. Fold it up and tape the back of your fingers to the top part.
2. Tape the thumb on the other side to make it easier to open and close the puppet’s mouth.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve made a special drawing of your dad, perfect for Father’s Day. Remember, the most important part is to have fun and be creative. Happy Father’s Day!
