🧃 What we used (aka what I found in our craft drawer)

Thick white paper or cardstock (I used A4 and cut it into 6 small cards — toddler-sized, cause I worried he’d run out of patience!)
Cut-out shapes: I used a heart and a star, because that’s what I could cut out while he was busy snacking on his tower.
Painter’s tape or washi tape (just to stick the shapes down lightly) I still had to hold on for dear life, or he’d have ripped them off.
Oil pastels (crayons work too — pastels would have been smoother)
A black marker for the writing
Optional: washi tape to jazz up the corners

🎨 How we made our “You’re my STAR, Dad!” cards and “I love Dad”:

I cut some hearts and stars out of thick paper — nothing fancy, I just freehanded it.
I stuck them in the middle of each small card using washi tape rolled into little loops (so they peel off easily – still used my hands to hold them so the washi tape isn’t really necessary).
Then I handed over the oil pastels, and he went wild. I mean it. Every colour. Some cards had purple lightning scribbles, others looked like spaghetti.
Once the scribble storm passed, we peeled off the shapes to reveal a clean white star or heart underneath — well mostly he managed to draw under a bit!
I added cute little messages like “You’re my STAR” and “I ❤️ Dad” with a black marker.
You can add washi tape to the corner to make them more beautiful.

This might look like just a fun scribble card, but your toddler is doing all sorts of clever stuff while they scribble:

Developing fine motor skills
Exploring colour contrast and texture
Practicing focus and attention (even if it’s just for 4 minutes)

And most of all — they’re creating something real and meaningful for someone they love.

Why this craft works (aka why I didn’t lose my mind doing it)

My toddler got to do what he does best: scribble and smudge colours .
It actually looks like something you’d want to keep in a memory box. Ok I probably keep everything in a memory box.
I got two cards out of one mini scribble session .
