Let's Play!

The best toy a father can give his child is himself! Have fun with your child at family gatherings or one-on-one time!

Snowball Baseball
First, mark bases on the floor. Pick teams, and play the game like regular baseball, the only difference being that you use a spatula for a bat and big marshmallows for a ball!

Red Hot Scoop Relay
Each team needs a spoon and a container of red-hot candies at the beginning of the line and a plastic "goal" container at the goal line. The first person scoops up a spoon full of red hots, walks to the goal bucket, and deposits the red-hot candies. The player returns and hands off the spoon to the next person. The goal is to have the most red-hot candies in the goal bucket at the end of his/her line.
