One of the things Thomas Edison invented was the phonograph. Watch  From Phonographs to Spotify: A Brief History of the Music Industry . Your children might enjoy this kit which helps your children build an Edison style phonograph .  Your child will be able to record and play back their own recordings. Thomas Edison also contributed to the invention of the electric light bulb.  Watch this interesting video on  Who Invented the Light Bulb?   Read  How a Light Bulb Works  and then draw your own lightbulb and label it's parts. Thomas Edison also contributed to the motion picture camera.  You can learn more about that by watching  The First Movie Camera: Crash Course History #2 .  Watch  How Thomas Edison (Accidentally) Created Hollywood
