Hi Jennifer,

Wright Brothers or early flight, old car, bike experimentation- mostly
mechanical things come to mind (*may* not read to kids due to the
aesthetics/context).

I'm sure there are contemporary as well as old building/construction videos
which might be better for this context.

What about making videos of your kids there playing (both succeeding and
failing) with the Tinkertoys?

Best,

Maria Mortati
