Research has shown how important YOU are to your children and how as a dad the things you do, and keep on doing, really count, whether you live with them, or you are a single dad and are only able see them once a month, once a week or more, what you do really matters. 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. This site is about all the positive things that we as parents have to offer our children.

Your Alethiometers
|
 147
|
I would like to say it looks easy, but I think challenging is more accurate. Nevertheless it is really worth it to put all your modelling skills to good practice and make the best looking Alethiometer that you can.
. . .
It goes without saying (I hope) that if you make an Alethiometer, tell us about it, we love to see a picture of it. So, when you've made one and taken a picture of it, don't forget to post it in your dadcando page.
If any more inspiration was needed, we have already been sent a picture of these two lovely Alethiometers made by Mark for his son Dominic, and made by the Alethiometrist, Danielle.
You can get the plans and instructions to make your own Golden Compass on dadcando,
here.
Dominic’s and Mark’s Alethiometer
Our Alethiometer is made from MDF cut on a CNC router, and the "glass" is a piece of acrylic which I put in an oven and placed over a ring and pressed gently with a cloth to make the bulge.
That is so cool, doesn’t that make you want to make one.
Danielle’s Alethiometer
Oh, have I made an Alethiometer? See the attached pictures. Let's just say I'm a bit obsessed with the Alethiometer. *sigh* I'd love to see your version of it!
Well you don’t have to wait any more… it’s up on line right here on dadcando. I still l love yours though.

Themed origami shirts
|
|
So you want to be a tailor and make some of the most beautifully pressed shirts in Town? Well, this is the Japanese art of paper folding (origami) with a new twist.
Dadcando shirt making paper craft couldn't be simpler, you don’t need to buy any special paper, and you can download our high quality printables, and get going with this project right away. The easy to follow instructions show you how to fold up a shirt from a rectangular piece of office printer paper.
Fold up the shirts and then use them as very original greetings cards, that are guaranteed to make a great impression, and show someone that you really care.
There are loads of neat designs on this site, but if you fold up a plain piece of paper you can design your own shirt. If you do design your own, please send us a picture or scan of your design so that we can see how good you are, we’ll put the best up on dadcando for everyone to enjoy. Learn the folds, and then next time you’re really bored at work or school, you can always make a paper shirt from that fax from Accounts, or that Post-it Note from your teacher.
