If you and your child could pose a question to Leonardo da Vinci, what would it be? What subject would it entail - invention, painting, sculpting, architecture? Here was a man who painted the Mona Lisa and at the same time invented an operational version of scuba gear, used in his day. It is not that his life was so multi-dimensional but rather Leonardo da Vinci saw life and learning as interconnected. You first understand nature, it can then be painted. He shared: "Study the science of art and the art of science." That is probably why he could draw plans for helicopters and airplanes centuries before their invention while capturing beauty in the art of his time.

If he only painted, sparing no thought in other disciplines, would he have been the painter we know, or maybe a lesser one? Learning and creating should also be interconnected, multi-sensory. Reading draws in words but hearing them as well takes it farther. Activities that reinforce what is read with games that stimulate the senses creates not just understanding but a joy of learning. It is never too early to start.
