ROCKET GAMES FOR KIDS


WALL-E robots were first discovered by my terrible three and horrible four grand kids. Long before I have read about it in the commentary of the animation film on the big screen movie theatres! When I actually saw the movie, I thought kids at that age won't understand...but how wrong could a grandfather be! They designed it in their scrap books and the next thing was their detailed instructions to me how to build it. Especially the hatch that must open to fumble the rubbish. And of course the telescopic eyes and electronic brains galore. Only when I thought I was a co-discoverer of aliens from space, my son, Johan, showed me his shot at WALL-E. (See his Face book for his model). Great trash stories followed in our backyard with cockroaches carefully preserved for the future green revolution. Really an exciting rocket science project to save our green planet!
