Ryan - Lead Father of Dad Suggests

Dad Suggests was created so that we could share with others all of the things that we most love sharing with our own children.

One of the great joys of being a father of two (currently ages 10 and 6) has been discovering bits and pieces of the vast amount of creative content in the world designed to entertain children and bring them joy.

Another fantastically-selfish joy of fatherhood has been rediscovering things from my own childhood and sharing those with my children as well.

Our mission is to help you find content that will inspire your kids and spark their imagination and their creativity. Providing a magical childhood full of wonder is the noblest mission there is. And there’s no better way to accomplish this than reading to your kids and playing with your kids.

In 2018 we started DadSuggests.com to talk about our favorite kids books and games, and in 2022 we opened a brick-and-mortar shop in Fayetteville, AR to sell them!

We sincerely hope that, while visiting, you might discover or rediscover something to share and enjoy with your own family.
