Finding Hobbies With Your child as a New Dad
Becoming a dad changes everything. Suddenly, the free time you once had for your own hobbies feels limited, and now it’s about creating moments that matter with your little one. The truth is, kids don’t care how fancy the activity is—they care that you’re present.
The best hobbies you can share with your son are the ones that build connection and memories. It doesn’t have to be extreme sports or expensive gear. Sometimes, the simple stuff is what sticks forever.
One hobby worth trying? Birdwatching.
It’s calm, outdoors, and perfect for slowing life down. All you need is a park, a pair of binoculars (optional), and a sense of curiosity. Pointing out the colors, sounds, and movements of birds is not only fun for your child, but it teaches patience and observation. Plus, it gives you both a reason to get outside, away from screens, and into nature.
So, whether it’s birdwatching, fishing, hiking, or building Legos on a rainy day, the goal is the same: spend intentional time together. You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to show up.
And hey—if you’re ready to take your birdwatching game up a notch, check out our Zzzaddy Birdwatching Tee. Comfortable, dad-approved, and perfect for your next backyard adventure. Available on Amazon.
