This site is dedicated to all dads but will be of special relevance to the single dad. Remember, you are half the reason your children exist and they need you whether you live with them or not. As their dad, you have what it takes to make their lives successful and fulfilling no matter how often you see them.

Simple cans made from felt pen lids, great for Barbie's or Action Men
A very simple model and quick to make and with so many possibilities. These tiny little MicroTins are absolutely perfect for Action Men (Army Rations) and Barbie Dolls. Use the label printouts provided to get you started, but it would be so much better if you or your kids designed tin can labels of your own. To do this you’ll need to draw them bigger (with normal felt pens and pencils), scan them in to your computer and reduce them to the right size using some suitable software, and then print them out at the new size. Alternatively, you could draw them big and reduce them in size on a photocopier, unless you fancy drawing the labels under a magnifying glass.
It really is as easy as this, but the instructions show you how to make sure that they are all the same size and gives you some printer templates and label printouts. Get creative, make spilled cans, open cans with their lids still attached, all easy to do once you’ve started. This project should take you about 10 minutes per can, less if you really get good at making them.
The instructions are so easy to follow, and the download comes in both US Letter size and A4 just click on the size you need, to download it.

Posted by Maddad - These are all we can find of the masses that were made. All the coke cans were squirreled away somewhere so safe that they have not seen the light of day since!

Funky pompoms
|
|
 Dadcando has some truly amazing funky pompom projects, and making a pompom couldn't be easier or more instantly rewarding. You don't even have to have wool, you can make a pompom from any lightweight plastic bag, bin-liner or sandwich bag.
This tiny little pompom was made from a transparent blue plastic sandwich bag. Perfect for making little pompom creatures to decorate the top of your pens and pencils.
All you need is a piece of cardboard, which you cut into two same sized rings.
You bundle up some wool into 2m lengths and thread them through the rings about 8 at a time (or a plastic bag).
Keep threading the wool through the ring until you can't fit any more through.
Push the tip of a pair of scissors into the wool and between the discs inside and cut round the rim.
Tie a few lengths of wool round the pompom bundle between the cardboard discs and then remove the discs by slipping them off the wool or cutting them.
 That's it. It couldn't be much simpler, but it is only the start. Both boys and girls love making pompoms and dadcando's projects have easy to follow instructions and the beautifully designed printed image patterns will make sure that your pompom looks fabulous as well as being something really wacky and memorable, and they’re all so quick and easy to do.
So, beg or borrow a ball of wool off someone to get you going, or visit your local fabric shop and buy a ball or two. There are some crazy wools out there, have a look at the wonderful pompom William designed in Your Models, using a fun multicoloured wool. I guarantee once you start making pompoms with your kids, they won't want to stop.
