Just in time for Father’s Day we’ve arranged with Raincoast Books to re-print a project from the incredibly appealing Handy Dad: 25 Awesome Projects for Dads and Kids. From Todd Davis, the host of HGTV’s Over Your Head and an extreme sports athlete, Handy Dad is full projects for dads to build with their kids. Create everything from a paper airplane to a zip line. Even less-than-handy dads will be intrigued by these projects and there really is something for everyone in terms of difficulty levels.

Plus it’s a gift that keeps on giving as it’ll engage both dad and kids, leaving you time to redeem that pedicure certificate you got for Mother’s Day.

Summertime and the living is easy. Fish are jumping and…well…you get the picture.

In the name of all that is fun in the sun, we have a yoyomama kid-friendly and mama-approved song list featuring music the whole family will love that’s perfect for rolling down the windows, turning up the volume and cruising to the playground.

Many Vancouverites live in small homes with little or no green space, but luckily our fair city abounds with great, green places to play. We love our beaches, playgrounds and parks but an oft overlooked space to take your tots for some serious cavorting is VanDusen Botanical Garden.

easy readers

Filed Under Places | June 8, 2010

Reading is part of most families’ daily routine but it can get awfully monotonous when your kids pull out the same favoured books over and over and over again, especially when they latch onto something less than literary. Thankfully Mabel’s Fables, a self professed “little bookstore for big readers”, makes finding fascinating reads for our wee ones easier and more fun.
