Yoto Says: Join the BrainBots as they travel back in time to meet Sir John Harington, inventor of the toilet.

Don’t take that flusher for granted! The BrainBots are out of the classroom and off to the 16th century to find out as much as they can about Sir John Harington - inventor of the toilet.

Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs will watch Sir John in action, find out how Queen Elizabeth I played her part in the invention and discover what people did before toilets (all whilst dodging falling poo!).

Test your knowledge at the end of the card to see how many BrainBank facts you can remember about Sir John Harington and the toilet.

Daniel S. ★★★★★

My kids were so grossed out (in the best way) learning how toilets used to work—this card makes history hilariously fun. The BrainBots time-travel setup keeps them engaged without any screen time needed.

Penelope N. ★★★★★

My kid loves flushing the toilet now just so he can hear the BrainBots' story again. The "flashback" rewind button is perfect for replaying the funny parts about Sir John's invention.

Owen ★★★★★

We’ve been listening to this card on repeat — the bit about knights and early toilets has my kid giggling every time. It’s short enough to hold attention but packs in real facts. Finally, a history lesson that doesn’t feel like homework.
