Need a simple and easy gift idea to give dad this Father’s Day? If your husband is obsessed with superheroes like ours is, this superhero Father’s Day poster is the perfect Father’s Day gift the kids can give dad. It’s a fun activity for the kids, but also something memorable for dad and can double as as giant Father’s Day card.
Dad’s are superheroes! And nothing screams Father’s Day like a child drawing their dad as their favorite superhero! We’ve created an easy printable gift to give to dad this Father’s Day. It’s a giant poster sized print that will make a huge impact, but is light on the budget and only cost a few dollars to print at your local print shop.
*UPDATE: In order to maintain this little blog and offer more printables in the future, we had to make the tough decision to start charging a small fee for some of our printables. We no longer offer the giant Superhero Father’s Day coloring poster for free, but you can find them for a really low cost in our Etsy shop. We appreciate your understanding and hope we can continue creating printables to help families and individuals celebrate all of life’s special occasions.
Each year we like to create a giant poster and tell the kids to draw dad; this year we went with the superhero theme. Which is the perfect theme for Father’s Day in our opinion. This is such an easy, last minute gift for dad. Download the giant card / poster and send it to your local print shop. We print them as a 24×36” engineer print and they only cost a few dollars for a black and white blueprint poster. Most local print shops will print them on the spot or within an hour or two. Which is great for us busy moms!
Grab the crayons, markers or colored pencils and let the kids go at it! Coloring large scale is so much fun and occupies at least an hour of their time! We love giant coloring pages because all the kids can get involved.
Now here’s the custom part; have your child (or if you have multiple, pick one) to draw dad’s face. This sometimes needs some guidance. We tell our kids to think about his skin color, hair color, hair texture (curly, straight, spiky). Does he have a beard? Glasses? Freckles? Etc. Tell them to add all the features and they’ll be so excited to see how close their drawing really looks to him! See the similarities in the pictures….kids art is the best art.
Here is the final product for Niki’s kids. And below is the final product for our sister Ali’s kids.
Be prepared to fall in love with these posters! It’s a tradition to do these custom posters each year for Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. It’s so fun to see how different each child draws from one another and to compare them year after year. The kids look forward to it each time and love giving dad a giant card for Father’s Day (make sure you have them write notes on the back).
