At least if they’re the Legos created by designer Akihiro Mizuuchi.

Akihiro Mizuuchi just made this planet a happier place.  Over the years, The biggest complaint parents have had, is that Legos have been a very male-themed toy.  They’ve also been known to have to reprimand their kids for eating them, or even taken them to the emergency room to have them extracted from an orifice or two.

More recently, Lego has been creating playsets for both genders, including a lot of new girl themed sets, but leave it to this illustrator to take the Lego concept to the next level.  Even one that mom will love!

During our search for cool things that parents do for their kids, we found another contender for “Cool Dad Of The World.”  Meet Dale Price. Every day, Mr. Price wears a completely different costume and waves goodbye to his son and the other students riding the bus to school.

The concept started off as something novel, but has quickly escalated into an online phenomenon. His costumes have become so popular that, like everything else, “there’s an app for that!” He’s been going for several hundred days now and you can tune in to see what he does next!

The birth of a child is a roller coaster ride of an experience that puts you through emotions you might not have expected, even if you were warned up front. Your baby will never cease to amaze you as she hits new milestones and you and your spouse are overwhelmed with excited.

It’s one thing to have a fun Dad that spends time with you and nurtures you during your formative years, but this dad has gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Cutting the crusts off of the sandwiches doesn’t go to the lengths here. David Laferriere does custom artwork on every clear sandwich bag that he sends to school with his sons. That’s right. Custom artwork on every sandwich bag, every day of the school year. That takes tons of dedication and commitment. What an awesome dad. I’m sure we won’t get any argument in calling him one of the coolest dads in the world.

Take a look at some of David’s fun doodle drawings and Sandwich Bag Art on his Flickr Page. Daddy gets a gold star, and not just in art class!
