It’s always a good thing to learn about our country’s wildlife.
He’s also got the advantage of superpowers much earlier than his older siblings who didn’t get to watch such advanced programming – nothing much beyond Peppa Pig, Bing, and Winnie the Pooh.
Now, It’s Wild Kratts, a highly educational wildlife programme that also happens to have baddies trying to steal or eat rare animals that need saving.
The Kratt brothers use their power suits with various animal powers to do that saving. By the end of the episode, you know all about the species, so I’ve shrugged off the superpower stuff mostly.
The Wild, Wild, Wild Linds
As a result, the littlest person in our family is now hitting his chest (the button on the power suit). He shouts, ‘Falcon power,’ and zooms from one end of the house to the other. And back again. Sometimes, it’s cheetah power, grasshopper power, salamander power, or any other of the number of species the Kratt brothers showcase on their show.
He’s learning about quite a wide variety of animals, I guess. I don’t know many other two-year-olds who can talk about falcons and actually know what they are and what they do. I could be wrong on that.
Anyway, if you hear me calling the boys, ‘Wild, wild, wild Linds’ you’ll know why. They’re basically Kratts.
I wonder if there will come a day when my sons are roaming the earth doing conservation work with rare species and developing their own power suits. It seems like that would be a great way to spend a life.
