Research has shown how important YOU are to your children and how as a dad the things you do, and keep on doing, really count, whether you live with them, or you are a single dad and are only able see them once a month, once a week or more, what you do really matters. This site is dedicated to all dads but will be of special relevance to the single dad. Remember, you are half the reason your children exist and they need you whether you live with them or not. As their dad, you have what it takes to make their lives successful and fulfilling no matter how often you see them. This site is about all the positive things that we as parents have to offer our children.

Moody's Mad Eye

Make your own magical eye
Mad Eye Moody is one of my favourite Harry Potter characters. Brusque but brutally honest, tough and resourceful, yet with a compassionate side, he is the wizarding world's best known cyborg as a result of his prosthetic magical eye, which can rotate 360 degrees and see through almost everything, including walls, doors, invisibility cloaks and the back of his own head. It spins round like crazy looking for the next potential danger, hence his nickname "Mad-Eye".
Of course this is me, not Moody himself. When I am wearing my mad eye, I do like to be called Mad Eye though, and I think that when you are wearing yours you should do the same.
. . .
Now can make your very own Mad Eye exactly the same as the one I am wearing, and every bit as good, if not better than anything you can buy in the shops from a few simple bits and pieces of junk; all with instructions right here on dadcando. You don’t need much junk either, all you need is a table tennis ball, an old plastic bottle cap and a leather strap or some dark coloured fabric. You can use any type of good strong glue for this project, but I would recommend hot melt (glue Gun) or very rapid setting epoxy (two part) resin.
. . .
For the Mad Eye pictured here, I used an old watch strap, which I extended using a piece of dark coloured fabric (actually cut from an old pair of trousers), but you could use an old leather belt or a handbag strap, or a piece of leather if you have any handy.
Wear your mad eye with pride at every possible opportunity. This is a picture of me wearing it to do an impression of Hugh Laurie acting as House in the US drama of the same name. Do I look like him or what? With that eye he would not only be as mad as he usually is, he would be a one man radiology department!
Mad Eye Moody’s mad eye instructions are available in both A4 and US Letter format and can be easily downloaded by just clicking on size you want to download.
