And...in one area - videos. I'm not an anti-entertainment kinda guy. But so much on TV and DVD is just falsehood, or exaggeration, or propaganda - oh, read it as 'crap'. There's got to be a better way. Not perfect, but interesting for them and you.
The physical world has plenty to be both instructional and interesting...honesty interesting. Immediately when talking about the natural world it offers questions of origins (creation) because some offer an evolutionary scheme as a crazy southern evangelist offers salvation - his way and only his way. Just be mindful. And, we may not agree on what is too 'evangelistic', but....
Also, make sure you purchase the proper format for your machine. Right now it's DVD and Blue-ray. Also remember the young the child, the shorter the attention span. :-)
There are a few worth talking about. The BBC series, "Planet Earth"
Another set that came the same year is "Nature: The World of Nature Set"
I have grandsons, and I know they love trains of all sorts. They are guys, after all! Videos like Real Trains for Kids
Add airplanes
OK, these are a few ideas. But...what are yours? Let me know.
