Rainy Days





For the past few days, rain has kept us (mostly) indoors. Thus, I brought out the (I assumed) very entertaining Play-Doh. Actually, this was Claire's first experience with the stuff. I thought she would be super excited...and/or possibly (hungry?) ingest/digest the clay. It does state that it is Non-Toxic...that's good, right?

While Claire did like the plastic tools (especially the scissors) and containers, she was not overly impressed with the Play-Doh itself. Rory, however, is quite creative and tried to demonstrate its' many uses, shapes, etc., but only the "stringy spaghetti" sparked Claire's interest. And so, for the next twenty minutes, I made various colored string/spaghetti to Claire's joy and amazement. In her eyes, I was a genius -- not a bad way to end our first Play-Doh session, I guess. :)

We are living the same life. :) I just introduced Emet to play-doh. While Evi was at school last week he and Zoe got to play with it and he LOVED it. He like the rolling pin and he greatly enjoyed sticking anything he could find into a blob of doh. :)
