I Double Dare You!

One of my friends was having their third child. The first two were boys and this third was to be a girl. I figured with the third child they already had most of the necessities, so I decided to purchase a book I had heard of for their baby shower gift.

I got them The Daring Book for Girls. I figured that the first-time-dad-to-a-girl might learn a few things about the culture that is little girlhood and the mom would get a refresher course.

With my own daughter I find myself trying to remember the little chants and games I did as a girl.

Both The Daring Book for Girls and the recently released sequel The Double-Daring Book for Girls, not only teach us things that are great for girls to know, but also a lot of general knowledge that is great for any child (or adult) to know.

I personally want my daughter to learn to throw a good spiral!

Many of the activities in the book are a little old for my five-year-old.

Read our review of the original Daring Book for Girls or purchase the sequel the The Double-Daring Book for GirlsThe Double-Daring Book for Girls on Amazon or wherever books are sold. You can read more at the Daring Book For Girls website.

Here's a video showing a few of the activities the book has to show you:
