Saturn

We have a placemat with the planets listed on it... I think I picked it up at Wal-Mart two years ago for around fifty cents. Both boys love space and anything and everything related to the planets. We are forever playing space ship at dinner, with Colin being the captain of the ship. Last week, I even created our own Pandora radio station containing the music of Star Wars so we eat "on board" while driving through the asteroid belt. Ethan is just as enthusaistic, as you'll see in this first video clip. I had no idea he was able to correctly name some of the planets! Later the same day, Colin came over to give him some instruction. I asked Colin to do it again so I could capture his teaching!

Good job Sir Talks A Lot and Colin! I love the idea of using placemats as a learning tool!
