🎨 “Super Dad” Photo Stand Frame (for a 4×3 photo)

🧾 Materials Needed:

1 sheet white cardstock (8.5″ x 11″)
1 printed 4″ x 3″ photo
Glue stick or tape
Markers/crayons/stickers
Safety scissors
Optional: foam stars, decorative tape, or printed Father’s Day messages

✂️ Instructions (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Cut the Base

Cut the cardstock in half horizontally to make two 8.5″ x 5.5″ pieces.
Fold one piece in half like a greeting card.

Step 2: Attach the Photo

Center the 4″ x 3″ photo on the front of the card.
Use tape or glue to stick the photo in place.

Step 3: Add a Message

Below the photo, glue a small strip of paper with a message like:
✨ “Super Dad!” or “#1 Dad!“
Let kids write their own messages with help if needed.

Step 4: Decorate!

Add stickers, stars, or drawings around the photo.
Encourage kids to draw themselves and their dad as superheroes!

Step 5: Make the Stand (from your example)

Cut a 1.5″ wide strip of cardstock (about 4″ tall).
Fold a small flap at the bottom (~1″).
Tape the flap to the back of the card to make a stand (see your second image).
Add extra strips if needed for support.

Step 6: Optional Personal Touch

On the back or inside, let kids write or dictate a short note like: “I love you because you fix things and give the best hugs.”
