The start of late spring, early summer usually brings the heavy thunderstorm weather here in the United States. And bad thunderstorms — or as we like to call it, Flashlight Weather — can mean lightning hitting transformers and, voilá, you have yourself a power outage!
Hmmm. If you’re a kid, what to do when the power goes out? 🤔 So many options! First, there’s playing flashlight tag around the house. That’s always fun. You can read your favorite book under a pillow fort. Or how about playing shadow puppets on the wall? For more fun ideas and crafts, check out our Pinterest board!
The flashlight, also called a torch in other countries, was first invented in 1899 as a portable light source. It’s come a long way since then, and are available in all shapes, sizes, and strengths. Check out the Flashlight Museum for more info and see all the different kinds there are!
