Summer Fun on Wheels with Dynacraft!

Kicking off their summer campaign, Dynacraft has created Experiments in Fun, which is designed to help families rethink what's possible with their kids favorite wheels! For example, this past weekend, Dynacraft transformed Atlanta's Piedmont Park into a Ride-In Theater, complete with a ride-thru ticket booth, bike-up concession stand, old-fashion marquee sign, lively games and photo booth. At sundown, families cuddled up under the stars to watch Universals Pictures Despicable Me 2 on a 40-foot-wide screen. So cool!

Guess How Much I Love You

Bestselling storybook Guess How Much I Love You celebrates 20th anniversary as deployed military parents use it to deliver a special ‘I love you’ message to their kids back home this Father’s Day
While millions of children will be celebrating Father’s Day with their dads on June 21, for many children whose fathers are serving in the military, dad won’t be at home. But thanks to nonprofit United Through Reading and a very special storybook, there’s a way for every dad to tell his kids he loves them this Father’s Day – however far away he might be.

Nonprofit United Through Reading keeps military families connected by offering service members the opportunity to be video-recorded reading storybooks to their children at home from locations worldwide. Although the story may be recorded in a tent in Afghanistan, the child sitting at home watching it can feel like daddy’s home for a few moments before they go to sleep, or whenever they need him. Guess How Much I Love You celebrates the unique bond between father and child, and has struck a chord with many military families. The story serves as a reminder to children that no matter how far away they may be from their parent, their love remains strong enough to bridge even the greatest distances.

This heartfelt video was created especially for Father’s Day and features military parents reading Guess How Much I Love You to their children back home in a United Through Reading recording.
