The final straw in my high aspirations for having brilliant children was when my 8-year old daughter told me that the Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo di Caprio. I had to act. I knew they loved watching television – and that’s how I came to the idea of combining this with learning something worthwhile.<\/p>\n
I wrote out the life of Leonardo da Vinci, packed the story with true and memorable details (he liked to slice up dead bodies, he made paint out of eggs, he didn’t go to school) and wrapped it into funny, 10-minute film which they watched over and over again.<\/p>\n
