Last weekend, my 4 years old decided he
wanted to make a machine. He was absolutely committed to it. He spent three
days designing the superstructure, planning how the inner mechanism was going
to work and how we should ensemble each piece. And he did a list of which
materials we were going to need.
He has been completely excited about it the
whole week. We had to put all the designs in a poly pocket to avoid biscuits,
milk or chocolate stains causing a major incident. And he has left them in a "super secure place" whilst in
school so nobody can copy or steal anything.
He has had lunch with them, slept with them
and you won’t believe how tricky it was to make him understand that it was not
possible to go into the bath with them.
