Did you know that the first swim flippers were invented by a child?
That child was 12 and went on to invent many other things as his name was Benjamin Franklin, but still!
That is why the annual Kid Inventors’ Day is celebrated on January 17th which was Benjamin Franklin’s birthday.
Other inventions by kids include…the trampoline, popsicles, earmuffs, water skis, the snowmobile and even braille.
