Father's Day drawings make gifts dads actually keep. Easy ideas for kids: superhero dad portraits, robot cards, comic strips and coupon books.

Father's Day drawings are gifts dads tend to keep for years. Kids can draw Dad as a superhero, make a comic about a day together, design a card with a cool robot or dinosaur, or create a coupon book. Personal, funny drawings mean the most.

Dads are notoriously hard to shop for. A drawing from their child solves that problem.

Father's Day drawing ideas

  • Superhero Dad. Draw Dad with a cape and powers.
  • Our day together. A comic about something you do with Dad.
  • Dad's favorite things. Draw them all.
  • Coupon book. Car washes, high fives, game nights.
  • Dad as a robot. What would Robo-Dad do?

Cool cards

How to Draw: Robot Dinosaurs gives kids an impressive subject for a Father's Day card. A robotic T. rex saying "You're the coolest dad!" is a card that will end up on his desk.

Comics for Dad

Comics are a great Father's Day gift. Kids can draw a three-panel story about a funny moment with Dad. See kids making comics.

Make it a frame

Frame a drawing for Dad's office or workshop. It is a gift he will see every day.
