In the week leading up to Father’s Day, our kids love picking out which printable card they want to give to their dad. It’s become a sweet tradition in our family, and even Amanda and Hannah—who are raising their kids on their own after their husbands left—make sure their children feel included. They don’t want their kids to feel left out or jealous, so together we help them prepare special Father’s Day cards for their grandfathers instead.

Watching all the kids color, laugh, and write messages to the important men in their lives is a reminder that Father’s Day can be meaningful for every family, no matter what it looks like. These printable cards give our children a way to celebrate, connect, and share a little love—whether it’s for their dad, grandpa, or another father figure who means the world to them.

What to Write in a Father’s Day Card from Daughter

As a mom, I love helping my daughters put their feelings into words for their dad. Sometimes, the simplest messages are the most touching. Encourage your daughter to write about a favorite memory, something she admires about her dad, or just a heartfelt “I love you.” For younger girls, even a few words or a drawing can mean the world. Here are some ideas to get started:

  • “Happy Father’s Day, Daddy! I love you to the moon and back.”
  • “Thank you for always making me laugh and giving the best hugs.”
  • “You’re my hero and my best friend. I hope you have the best day ever!”
  • “I love when we [insert favorite activity, like fishing, reading, or playing games] together.”

If your daughter is older, she might want to write about how her dad has helped her grow, taught her important lessons, or supported her through tough times. Remind her that it’s okay to be honest and a little sentimental—dads love that!

  • “Thanks for teaching me how to be strong, kind, and brave. I hope you know how much you mean to me.”
  • “You’re not just my dad—you’re my role model and my friend. Wishing you a wonderful Father’s Day!”

Encourage your kids to add a personal touch, like a favorite joke, a drawing, or a special memory.
