Design Your Own Bike
Your imagination is the limit!
Materials
Directions
Encourage your child to design his or own amazing customized bike. It can be realistic or it can be fantastic, like Buster's outer space bike with a satellite dish and vending machines. Help your child label the parts on the drawing and maybe write a brief explanation of why this custom bike is perfect for him or her. If your child prefers, he or she could design a different customized object: a room, sneakers, or a hat. What special design features will your child devise?
Talk About It
The opening song of this episode tells the story behind the name of the city, Los Angeles: "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Ángeles; The Village of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels by the Sea." Discuss the story behind names with your child. What's the story behind the name of your city or town? How about the story behind your last name? The first names of the children in your family? What's the story behind the names of the family pets or your child's dolls or stuffed animals?
