i wasn't "all girl" as you put it, but then if you're not spending much time with your daughter, she's naturally going to bond with her mother. it's all about spending time, not sharing few really great times.
my favorite memories are being taken to the pony rides, then a special resturant that i could choose. if i was lucky, my dad would let me go several times, on the fast ponies. i also liked it when my dad made my sister and i french toast every sunday morning - not only did we like spending time together, and we certainly liked french toast, but it also showed a consideration for our mother that we held in our hearts.
unfortunately the rest of my childhood memories aren't even that girly - although some were great. my dad taught me how to make a circuit so a little light lit up, and also taught me how to hook up a slot car motor to a batter using lots of wires. he also taught me rudiments on the piano, which he played. and he played piano TO us, so we could sing, which was a blast.
we planted seeds together, then took care of the seedlings when they sprouted. and when i discovered that i really liked grasshoppers, my dad built me a HUGE cage so i could keep a few and watch them while they hopped from plant to plant.
and when i came home with one of the chickens we hatched in class, not only did he build something for me to keep it in, but he took me to feed stores so i could learn about taking care of the chicken. and this is in the middle of los angeles, where NO one has a chicken. i thought this was pretty neat!
my parents took turns reading to us - books of our choice when we were old enough. it was more my mom, but my dad would go miles away to find new and wonderful books - no best seller list books for us. every single night till i was 13, my sister and i heard at least one chapter. it's why i love to read now.
imo the best thing you can do is spend time with your daughter - time you spend listening to what interests her. most parents don't listen, but i was very lucky in my early years - i had two parents who didn't try to fit me into a mold, but always involved themselves in my interests.
