The Dads & Daughters Togetherness Guide: 54 Fun
Activities to Help Build a Great Relationship
By Joe Kelly,
President of Dads & Daughters
Fathers know
that doing things with their daughters is important. Shared activities build
trust and self-esteem, show how much dads care, and allow everyone to cut loose
and have fun. But even fathers who can beat the generation and gender gaps that
make them feel awkward can’t always dream up cool places to go or mutually
enjoyable things to do. Like the coach of their favorite team, dads need a game
plan, and that’s exactly what Joe Kelly provides in Dads & Daughters
Togetherness Guide.
Appropriate for girls of any age, the guide enables dads to grab their
daughters by the hand and say “Let’s go…”
See how things are made: Take a made-in-America tour and see how
everything from jumbo jets (Boeing) to chocolate kisses (Hershey’s) is produced.
Bake a funny cake: She’ll laugh herself silly in the kitchen making Kitty
Litter Cake, a German chocolate sheet cake covered with “cat litter” (dyed,
crumbled cookies) and topped with miniature Tootsie Rolls.
Take a drive to nowhere: Let the copilot navigate, and leave time for fun
stops to poke around in flea markets or join a game of pickup softball for a few
innings.
With dozens of other engaging activities--such as creating a daddy-daughter journal,
devising secret codes, and exchanging poems--this is the ultimate rain-or-shine resource
for developing wonderful parent-child rapport.
