TVO is a publicly and government funded television channel here in Toronto and they program some fantastic stuff. Meercat Manor narrated by the wondrous Bill Nighy comes to mind or Prehistoric Park (who needs the Crocodile Hunter when you can do this? And safely too!). Like PBS in the States, they are savvy, fun and very educational!Recently, their afternoon kid's program called The Space, hosted by some wonderful hip adults (who don't really seem like adults... they seem like kids... which makes them so much more fun for the kids) held a contest for kids to design an Eco-mobile for 6 Superheros, The League of Super Citizens. My little guy got all jazzed because he's very environmentally aware AND he loves designing cars... So was this a match made in heaven!?!
Well...
TAAAA DAAAAA!!!!
He designed a vehicle powered by wind. He drew the blueprint you see before you all on his lonesome, and then, with just a wee help from Mommy (I made the podge for the Papier Mache), he put together, papier mache-ed and painted his very own Super Eco-vehicle (complete with seat belts for safety).
Today, I got the call. Wee Monster has won a second prize digital camera!
GO WEE MONSTER!!!!
We, back down here on the farm, sure are proud of our boy.
Can't wait to see what he designs next....
