My best advise for a father bonding with his daughter. You know personally, my daughter is 3 right now. It is really important for me to take an interest in things that she loves. They may not necessarily be my passion but I let her comb my hair. I let her put fake make up on. I sit down to imaginary meal with her. I do things that she really loves. If it is bracelets and necklaces, we will sit down and we will do some of that stuff together or we will go out and shop for something like that. One thing that I did specifically for my son is every time we went to a new city or new place, I will buy him a patch and I am putting all of them in a duffel bag to give to him later. At the same time for my daughter, I will look for things charms for her bracelet, maybe it is doll from some of those places that we have been and I think she really loves some of that stuff.
