5 Great Father Son Bonding Ideas
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Gillette at Walmart. The opinions and text are all mine.
As a mom to 3 boys I just love to watch each of my kids spend time with my husband. They each have a unique bond with their dad, enjoying many different activities while creating memories together! With Father’s day coming up, we’ve got a few fun ideas that will help to create memorable Father and Son bonding moments with your kids!
Getting Outside
Whether your kids and their dad like hiking, fishing, camping or yard work, getting out of the house to spend time together can be magical! Without the distraction of toys or screens, kids have the chance to really enjoy one on one time with dad!
Random Acts Of Kindness
Have dad pass along the joy of helping others by working together to make a small list of acts of kindness they would like to do together. Anything from taping quarters to a vending machine, leaving notes of encouragement on someone’s car or even choosing small toys like cars or figurines from their toybox to leave at the park for new kids to find and enjoy. There’s so much fun to be had making others happy!
Experimenting
It’s so fun to get creative and play while learning! Most kids are on a slime kick right now, it would be so fun for dad to help make some of that, make shadow puppets or make GIANT bubbles together! While having fun, turn it into a learning moment that your kids will remember forever.
Reading
Bedtime is precious in our home. My husband takes over most of the night time routine with the boys, catching up on what went on while he was at work. Reading is one of the bedtime activities that both my husband and the boys truly enjoy. They can read some of my husbands favorite books from his own childhood, passing the memories down to them!
Life Lessons
There are just some life lessons that I can’t help with. Dating advice, car work (I know NOTHING about cars!), dad’s special recipes and shaving tips are special moments that dad can help with better than I can! I just love moments like these when the boys see the knowledge dad has and they soak up every minute with the ultimate mentor-Dad!
My boys love to “shave” with Dad. It’s such a fun bonding time as he shows them little tips and tricks he’s learned with experience. The kids put on some shaving cream and use small kitchen utensils and shave alongside as they watch their dad and follow his lead.
Creating your own Father & Son bonding moments while shaving is a lot easier now that Walmart has two amazing Gillette razors on Rollback AND there is a $2 coupon in the P&G brandSAVER in the 6/3 paper and online at pgeveryday.com. My husband loves their Fusion5 ProShield Chill Razor and was shocked that the price in store at Walmart is under $10! It’s such a great value for memorable moments with your kids.
Create memorable Father & Son bonding moments with your Gillette razor today!
