It's important for toddlers to spend quality time alone with both mommy and daddy. Here are 10 simple and inexpensive daddy-daughter dates:
1. Go to the Zoo
Toddlers, and all kids really, love the zoo, make sure to bring snacks, lunch, and water because food and drink prices inside the zoo are often pretty steep. Also pack hand sanitizer to clean hands before eating and after visiting the petting zoo. Also, check out the prices for a family membership because many zoos offer great deals for families.

5. Go for a Walk
Grab the stroller and take a quick walk around the neighborhood. There's a high probability that he/she might fall asleep, so it's good to take a walk around nap time if that's your goal.

10. Go to the Children's Museum
These museums are catered to children and include a variety of kinesthetic exhibits that encourage children to explore with touch. Most museums don't allow food to be consumed inside. Pack a lunch and snacks in a cooler and have a picnic outside during lunchtime. Don't forget to bring water and a blanket.
