Father's Day is approaching, and it's time to show the dads how extraordinary they are. 

The list of gifts for fathers has broadened over the years, making it slightly easier for mothers and kids to get dads something special on Father's Day

But if you're like us, you know that most parents want to celebrate with the simple things. What says, "I love you, Dad", better than a homemade card? 

Check out this card idea, which is in the shape of a car. Be safe when using scissors, and set up a secure and comfortable space on the table for the kids. Lay down some paper to collect the cut pieces and gather everything you need before commencing. 

If you have smaller kids, you can do the cutting, but if you are a kid who knows how to use scissors, then be there to supervise. Allowing them to do the cutting doesn't just mean more to them, but helps them feel good that they did it alone. 

Add a personal touch with a picture. Check out the video tutorial from TikTok
