Free printable for Father's Day

We first released this cute little printable book 3 years ago, and it's the gift that just keeps giving! Every year kids are coming up with new, heartwarming and hilarious answers to the questions posed. Next year you might want to pull out this year's booklet to compare it with what they created for you! It will add to the fun!

Printing Instructions

This FREE activity book has been arranged so that you can form an A5 book using 5 sheets of folded A4 paper. 

  1. Print the odd pages first (1,3,5,7)
  2. Flip the pile of pages over and print the even pages on the reverse side of the same pages (2,4,6,8).
  3. Fold your pages and place them in order.

You're done! Hand the book over to your kid so they can start the fun part.
