What has
Richard Hammond taught my son?
Okay, we admit it. We are
Top Gear geeks in this household too! And our 4 year old son idolises Richard Hammond. The man who can host television shows in his sleep....
It started with Top Gear:
My 4 year old can spot a Ford, Holden and even a Peugeot at 50 paces. He has also devastated his father, by informing him that the 17 inch alloys on our Subaru (the very reason my husband paid an extra whatever to get that model) are really not that hot. He now appreciates the mechanical and how a car works. But that interest has lead to...
Total Wipeout:
He's learnt the importance of perseverance! The less typically sporty rock on this show, and you don't have to be an iron man to be a champion! It's like It's a Knockout without the team work. Then there's....
He's seriously into Science now too! When consuming water from his drink bottle the other day, our son informed us all about water tension. Actually, our son is now extremely keen on science.
Then we have Hammond's Invisible Worlds....
About all those things that happen when you are not looking....
And lastly, we've tuned into old
Brainiac on YouTube for some more of that science stuff. Then there's
Engineering Connections.....
Is there anything this man can not host? But his appeal has really resonated with our son, and a good Richard Hammond series never goes astray.
P.S: Just noticed, via Wikipedia, that it is the Hamster's birthday today! My son will be impressed!
