Play Doh!!

From Grace's very first encounter with Play-Doh till today, Play-Doh had never failed to attract and amuse her. It's one of the toys that top Grace's favourite toys list. (hint hint to those uncles and aunts out there**grin**).

Grace's collection started with 4 cans of Play-Doh that came together with a kitchen set that David and family (Grace's 3rd uncle) gave her on Christmas in 2007. Then the collection enlarged for a significant size when I bought her the Big Barrel somewhere in 2008. Then it again increase in size (smaller this time) with 6 mini cans together with a set of 15 play mats which her daddy gave her for Christmas in 2008. You would say wow!

I'm amazed at how many things we can play and make out of this Play-Doh thingy. Off course, Grace is still very young and needs a whole lot of guidance in making things out of the "doh". Yet, she's showing great progress in her imagination. Though her favourite, I do not let her play with it all the time. It's kind of a discipline that I wanted her to follow. We shall balance between learning, playing with different toys. Furthermore, things are to be used on moderation. Off course, lots of behind the scene works need to be done to ensure such discipline at this age.

Well, today we sat down to play with the 6 mini cans and the play-mat. Made fish, ants, worms, ring, bracelet, anklets. She helped in the process. We had fun!

Here's some of the photos of Grace's modelling on the "jewellery" that I made her.
