Hidden Message Father's Day Card

A taped paper shape gets covered in dot marker dots, then peels off to reveal a hidden "I ♥ Daddy" underneath.

🧒 Ages 3-5, 6-8⏱ 20 min

How to do it

  1. 1

    Cut a paper shape that says "I ♥ Daddy" and tape it onto the front of a card with painter's tape.

  2. 2

    Have the kid cover the entire card with dot marker dots, including over the taped shape.

  3. 3

    Let it dry, then carefully peel the shape away to reveal the hidden message.

Tips & extensions

Press the tape firmly so paint can't seep underneath. Mixing two or three colors makes the reveal pop.
