finleysmaid Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 hello! Not a man but can i ask you a question? I am putting on a stay and play session for dads/grandads etc to celebrate fathers day. We are doing this on a saturday morning so that more Dads can attend. If you were coming what would you like to play with? :1b

Rea Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Play army, each pairing is a team, make your weapons and throw tea bags dipped in paint at each other. Could get quiet competitive though. 1

Rea Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Outside, get hold of some hay bales, tyres, goggles and a warning to bring extra clothes or a bin bag to travel home in. I wish my kids were little again now :rolleyes:

Guest Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 sounds like a fantastic experience, "Outside, get hold of some hay bales, tyres, goggles and a warning to bring extra clothes or a bin bag to travel home in. I wish my kids were little again now :rolleyes:" also, what cobwebs, seems pretty cozy in here
Rea Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Its very cosy, so much so, you'll probably become addicted just like the rest of us
Guest Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 This thread has a little "hot" sign next to it. It's not been posted on for over 3 years but still counts as hot? Wow!
gillpen Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Looks like those cobwebs are disappearing fast! It's great to have male points of view as well as female :1b Stay and play sessions at my Pre-School are attended pre-dominantly by mums, with the occasional dad lurking uneasily in the background. Love the idea of 'Lads and Dads hand and footprints' and I will try that out as a lure to get a few more dads to participate
