This girl LOVES....I mean LOVES her play-doh. It wasn't until maybe a month or two ago that I figured she was ready for it. She's pretty good (usually) about putting stuff in her mouth now and so I figured it was safe at this point. Last week, I had 5 days off of work and figured we would spend one full day of doing NOTHING. By that I mean, no tv, no running errands, just lounging in our pj's all day. The first thing we did that day was pull out the play-doh (while still in our PJs).
SIDENOTE: Yes, as you can see, my child has a slight obsession with Dora in the background there.
This literally kept her busy for at least an hour! We made a snowman, tree, I brought out the cookie cutters, and we even made "jewelry" as you can see below:
Daddy had to work that afternoon, and he came home with a surprise for Noey. He bought her a Cookie Monster play-doh set (AND Santa might just be bringing her a jumbo pack of play-doh and an Elmo set). Daddy spoils her (even though he doesn't like to admit it!), they were supposed to BOTH be for Christmas, but he caved and gave her this one early.
She was in her glory. In fact, when it was time to clean up, she was sooooo sad. She had big crocodile tears and didn't want play time to end. One cute little thing she does when she plays with ANY craft, whether it is coloring, or play-doh, or just plain concentrating on a puzzle, is she smacks her lips hahaha! She has this little lick she does and smacks them together almost like shes ready to drool hahaha! I guess it's just her "concentrating" hard on something.
At any rate, I cannot wait for Santa to bring more play-doh. She absolutely LOVES it, and I have found it's a new way for me to get stuff done in the kitchen (cooking dinner and washing my dishes!!!)
