The Best Father's Day Present Ever

The Best Father's Day Present Ever

Amazon Price: $0.01 (as of 02/16/2012)Buy Now

Langley Snail is worried about Father's Day. He is not crafty, so his homemade presents always bomb. He has some money to spend, but his snail's pace gets him to the store after it closes. Besides, his friends have already snapped up the neat gifts, like the "Super-Duper-Golf-O-Matic-Home-Ball-Washer." Tomorrow is Sunday, and Langley's got nothin'. But as he walks dejectedly home, he finds a perfectly round, lilac-colored stone. Then he spies three baby birds in their nest. A lightbulb goes off: Langley leaves a note for his father requesting his presence on a nature walk. Together, the two explore the woods, and Mr. Snail says their walk is the best present ever--and Langley agrees. The sprightly watercolors, drawing inspiration from both comics and woodcuts, don't always scream nature, but the gentle humor carries the day (except, perhaps, the picture of Langley on the toilet). This will spark kids' own ideas for ways to spend Dad's special day.

Communication
A Father Daughter Game



The Communication Game a is a fun game that makes it easy for fathers and daughters to communicate with each other on "father-daughter" outings via a fun, casual "you ask, I answer" format. Cards with stimulating statements promote fun, enlightening conversation between a girl and her dad. No matter what your relationship is with your father/daughter, this game will help create a relaxing atmosphere to learn more about one another.

The game is played with the father & daughter going to a location that begins with, or contains, the letter coresponding to the pakcet for that day.Part of the fun is trying to find places that begin with, or contain, each of the different letters of the alphabet. If a father takes his daughter out once a month, they'll have enough materials to cover over two years of outings! You can even record the outing in the enclosed journal so you'll have a priceless keepsake of wonderful times spent together. Example card statement:
I'll never forget the time you ___. I say that because...

The game is designed for fathers with daughers' age 10 or higher, but many fathers have played with daughters much younger. The game was invented over ten years ago by a father who was looking for a way to stay in touch with his daugter after being separated by divorce.

Includes a metallic box with 365 statement cards alphabetized into 26 clear packets, keepsake jounal, 2 instruction sheets, 1 straw, and a sticker. COMMUNICATION: Dads & Daughters Edition is the only game of its kind in the market and it provides a wonderful opportunity for dads and daughters to improve upon their relationship while also having fun and building positive memories.
