Play Doh

We had a few rainy days last week so it was time to start trying out some arts and crafts for the kids. We've gotten a few containers of Play Doh from party favors but I've put them all away thinking the kids would just make mess. Let's just say I was right and wrong. One of my children loved playing with it and the other loved making a mess.

Cameron has the knack for creativity, I think. She loves to color and does a pretty good job at it. And play doh was no different. She played for over an hour! Both she and Timothy started out enjoying it and somewhat realized the concept of shaping and molding it, but Timo quickly grew tired of it and was picking it all apart throwing it on the floor. Cameron just kept going and going.

I got a few cutters from the kitchen for them to make prints in it as well as shaped some balls and snakes. But they had the most fun just putting it in the containers and taking it out, putting it in, taking it out...ah, the joys of repetition. And it didn't take long for all the colors to get mixed up but they didn't seem to mind.
