Being a single dad can be challenging - work, dealing with the ex-, dating/dealing with the current, figuring out what to do with the kids, etc - but it can also be a lot of fun.
The great thing is, I talk to a lot of single dads and often hear funny, touching, inspiring stories of things that they have done with their kids. It might be touring an old factory, going to an interesting museum, making up a new ball sport and practicing it in the park...
I'd love to hear any stories of creative, fun things you have done with your kids. (Ideally inexpensive ones).
These stories can be a real inspiration for other single dads who might be having a bit of a hard time.
Look forward to hearing about your fun stuff.

As for things dads can do with their kids, I think the most important thing is just spend quality time. They can read together, and if the kid is older, maybe start the same book at the same time and have their own little book club. How about playing games? Learning ones even better. Perhaps building something together, whether it be a desk or model car. Nature walks, museums, which all have their free days, or how about volunteering together where there is need? Volunteering is very rewarding.
It is so heartwarming to see dads that want to be an important part of their kid's lives. The thing is, dads are important to their kids whether they want to be or not, so why not have a relationship that enriches both their lives?
I know what my dad meant in my life, even after my parents divorced. He was my solid rock, even more than my mother. Even though he's passed, he stays in my heart forever.

Hi!
Thank you for doing this site. I'd also like to share some of my experience as a single dad.
One of the most rewarding experiences is to play some sports with your son/daughter! They love it, and it will certainly help you bond.
