Here’s a beautiful Father’s Day poem quote to add to your baby’s footprints too:

‘Walk a little slower, Daddy’, said a little child so small.
‘I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they’re hard to see;
So, walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Someday when I’m all grown up, you’re what I want to be.
Then I will have a little child who’ll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower Daddy, for I must follow you.’

2. Father’s Day card gift with baby handprints.

Some people find it hard to do baby handprints but if you follow my instruction and tips, you can get some really good ones.
When you have your baby handprints you could add a handprint poem like this.
Daddy’s heart will melt and it will be a precious keepsake gift to treasure forever.

‘Ten tiny fingers that always want to play,
That never stop exploring the wonders of today.
Ten tiny fingers that from the very start,
Will reach out for tomorrow, yet always hold your heart.’

3. A simple baby handprint father’s day card idea

This simple idea with one baby handprint is really cute.
You could do this each year for Father’s Day to see how baby has grown. Daddy will love it!

4. I love you from the bottom of my heart to the tips of my toes.

Combine your baby’s hand and footprints with this beautiful Father’s day card or gift idea.

5. It takes a big heart to hold a little hand.

If you haven’t managed to get a handprint, you can draw round your baby’s hand and cut it out in colourful paper.
If your toddler is old enough this could be a fun Father’s Day craft activity and they could draw around their own hand.
Such a beautiful homemade Father’s Day card idea.

4. Following in my Daddy’s Shoes.

Possibly one of my favourites! Make a print with one of Dad’s shoes and then add you baby or toddler’s footprint inside it.
This is so adorable and you could turn it into a Father’s Day card or frame it as a gift.


I hope this has given you some inspiration for Father’s Day and that you have a go at producing some beautiful father’s day cards and gift with these Father’s Day Quotes, Poems and craft ideas.
