Welcome to Bedtime History. Hello, this is Brake.

Growing up, one of my favorite childhood memories was using my imagination to build new things.

I'd take apart old, unused electronics or appliances in our home, and then try and rebuild them into something new and interesting.

They usually didn't work. They were more like works of art than functioning inventions, but I had a blast doing it.

What's great about a product like KiwiCo is the things you build as part of the engineering kits actually work.

My kids and I have built a few different projects together, including a ukulele, a pinball machine, headphones, and a speaker.

These projects include detailed instructions and also explain the science behind how the devices work.

As a parent, it can be hard to find creative ways to keep your children busy, challenged, and off screens.

KiwiCo does the legwork for you, so you can spend quality time tackling projects together.

KiwiCo also has boxes for geography and culture, the Atlas crate, and another one focused on cooking.

Other subjects are science, art, engineering, crafting, and design. KiwiCo also has crates designed for kids and adults of all ages.

When I was a little kid, I remember taking an art class in school, and one of my projects was to draw a picture of my family.

I was not a great artist, so I did the basics, a square house, and little stick figures for people. Perhaps you've done the same.

Well, imagine if your teacher put a rock on your desk and said, Carva picture of your mother out of this rock. That would definitely seem impossible.

First of all, to carve a face out of stone, you need special tools, like chisels and hammers.

And you need to know how to carve the stone in the right place to make a nose, eyes, and lips.

It takes a lot of time and practice to get it right, and some really big rocks.

Well, today we're going to talk about some gigantic rock portraits. You might know some already, like Mount Rushmore in the United States.

The David Statue in Italy, or the Terracotta Army in China. Today we're going to discover some other rock portraits, faces that look like a surprise Santa, a majestic lion, and a wailing devil.
