Setup #1: I’m a bit of an electronics geek, so the kids have a box of batteries and LEDs and wires and such that they play with and we talk about basic circuit wiring.
Setup #2: All of the kids are on a Calvin and Hobbes jag right now. They have all of the books out from the library and they quote the strips and explain their favourites all the time.
Today I came up from work for dinner and my son Joshua had an invention to demonstrate for me: The Thinker 3000. It’s based on the Cerebral Enhance-O-Tron from Calvin and Hobbes.
