Sharing is caring!

This clever homemade Father’s Day Card is DINO-MITE! It’s the perfect easy last-minute card idea and can be made by kids of all ages!

Plus, who doesn’t love a good pun?

I think this card is just the cutest thing and I’m so excited to share it with you! (Growing up I was obsessed with all-things dinosaur). The basic design could easily be modified to use for Mother’s Day or birthdays as well by changing the card text.
