Come on, Dad! 75 Things for Fathers and Sons to Do Together

Dads are famous for being fun, but even the most active father can use some new ideas for things to do with his son! Come on, Dad! 75 Things for Fathers and Sons to Do Together is filled with activities for fathers and their sons (ages 4 and up). From concocting secret codes and crafting homemade musical instruments to camping out in the backyard and making personal pizzas, these games and projects are guaranteed to make dad and son smile on rainy – and sunny – days, and will create memories that last long after the book is closed.

Each activity is accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions, a materials needed list (if supplies are necessary), and suggestions on how to “make it easier” and “make it harder” depending on the age and ability of the child.

Sample activities: Personal Pizzas, Paper Air Force, Time Capsule, Take it Apart, Family Story Collection, Old Man Apples, Math Olympics, Beach Memories, Obstacle Race, Recycled City, Personal Place Mats, Shopping Alphabet, Backyard Campout, A Shave a Day, Twirl Pictures, Leafy FunvAwards and Reviews:
