Ever wonder what it was like to live in Colonial times? National Geographic Kids' show "Weird But True!" takes you on a whirlwind adventure through Colonial Williamsburg, and trust me, it's way cooler (and weirder) than you might think!
Join host Charlie as he dives headfirst into the world of colonial crafts. We're talking getting hands-on with everything from brickmaking (did someone say peanut butter toes?) to wig-making (because who doesn't love a good powdered 'do?).
This isn't your typical boring history lesson. Charlie races against the clock to experience as many colonial jobs as possible, all before the sun sets on Williamsburg. You'll see him:
- Meet a blacksmith: Sparks fly as Charlie learns the ancient art of metalworking.
- Tackle the printing press: Forget texting, this is how they communicated back in the day! Charlie even tries his hand at creating a birthday card the old-fashioned way.
- Encounter a town crier: Imagine getting your news from a guy with a booming voice and a bell. Charlie gets to try out his own town crier skills, much to the amusement (and maybe confusion) of onlookers.
The best part? "Weird But True!" makes history fun and accessible for kids. Charlie's infectious enthusiasm and the show's fast-paced format will have you hooked from the first carriage ride to the final town crier call.
So, if you're ready to ditch the dusty textbooks and experience history in a whole new way, be sure to check out "Weird But True!" in Colonial Williamsburg. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might even be inspired to try your hand at churning butter or crafting a tricorn hat!
