Give Dad a Haircut Scissor Craft

What kid wouldn’t love to give dad a haircut? Now they safely can with our Cardboard Roll Give Dad a Haircut Scissor Craft. It’s a really simple idea that we had so much fun with!

You first have to model the cardboard roll after dad. Brown hair, blonde hair, black hair. If he’s bald, go with the color he would be then snip him bald. If he has glasses, give him glasses. It’s all about dad. Then, cut the hair. Go with random spiky locks or a flat top. Dad want a mullet? You can do that, too. You could even style some curls by curling the cardboard strips with your fingers.

This is such a fun fine motor craft and great for scissor practice, too. My youngest is going to be 3 in a few months and I know I need to continue introducing him to scissors. I’ve always had a problem with that with my other kids, too. I just can’t wrap my head around giving a 2 year old scissors. But I know it’s a necessary skill. Now, though, instead of giving themselves an actual haircut with those scissors, they can give dad a haircut!
