What I Can Tell You: I am proud to say that my kids have a Geek Dad. We look to him for all the cool ideas.
Geek Dad is chock full of DIY projects that are not just geared to dads. Moms can have a great time with this too!
Each section gives you easy to follow directions that even the Non-Geek (me) mom can follow. Ken Denmead has taken each project and broken it down by the materials needed, the cost of the project, the level of difficulty and the amount of time necessary to complete.
Personally I really liked the section on making comic strips using toys and the cyborg jack-o-lanterns. Look for mine this Halloween.
Today's generation of dads grew up more tech-savvy than ever. Rather than joining the Little League team, many grew up playing computer games, Dungeons and Dragons, and watching Star Wars. Now with kids of their own, these digital-age dads are looking for fresh ways to share their love of science and technology, and help their kids develop a passion for learning and discovery.
I am going to leave this book out and hope that my husband takes a gander at it. Really great book.
That sounds like a great book. I hope you all have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter will NEVER have to wish she had a geek dad growing up!
