A stack of cardboard is all you need to pull off something great this Father’s Day. Make him a thoughtful, handmade gift or build something together. Whether you’re crafting for Dad, Grandpa, or another awesome guy in your life, these cardboard projects are easy to pull off and guaranteed to put a smile on his face.

We picked our top 6 favorites to get you started, but you’ll find even more ideas over on our Father’s Day Pinterest board.

1. A Cardboard Puppet of Dad

Because what’s better than Dad? A hilarious puppet version of him, of course. Grab our printable puppet pattern, customize it with his beard, glasses, signature hair or a questionable mustache. Make him say dad jokes. Put on a puppet show. Or just surprise him at the breakfast table. Get the puppet pattern here!

2. A DIY Cardboard Trophy for Dad

Declare Dad the official champion of… whatever you want! World’s Best Grill Master? Master of Terrible Jokes? King of the Remote? Cut out a trophy shape, decorate it, and crown him as The Best Dad Ever this Father’s Day.

3. Accessories for Dad’s Tool Shed or Man Cave

Design a custom cardboard sign for Dad’s special space whether it’s for his tool shed, man cave, or snack corner. Want to go the extra mile? Chomp up a mini cardboard toolbox stocked with hand-drawn tools, snacks, photos of you and Dad and “chore passes.”

4. Build an Arcade: Games & Toys Pattern Pack

Looking for a project that’s just as fun to play as it is to build with Dad? Our Games & Toys Pattern Pack includes everything you need to make a cardboard skee ball, spinning top, and a snake game (aka hours of fun with Dad.) Team up to build your own mini arcade, challenge him to a skee ball showdown, or see who can spin their top the longest. It’s the perfect hands-on gift and a great way to make memories together.

4. Build a Cardboard Tent with Dad

Turn a couple big boxes into a backyard (or living room) camping tent. Decorate it however you like and enjoy a screen free hang out session with dad. Bring some snacks, flashlight stories, and sleeping bags!

5. A Cardboard Snack Cart

Create a mini snack stand filled with Dad’s favorite movie treats or chips, complete with a sign, snack slots, and maybe even play money. Serve it up during movie night or while he’s watching the game. It’s a guaranteed hit!

6. A Cardboard Meal (and a Real One Too)

Fire up your ChompSaw and cook up a cardboard steak, burger, sandwich, or whatever meal Dad loves most. Decorate it, serve it on a tray, and don’t forget to surprise him with the real thing for bonus points.
