Play-Doh

These pictures are actually from several weeks ago, but I still couldn't resist sharing them. This was one of those rare days when I didn't have anything that desperately needed to get done, and the children were all miraculously pleasant. We had a great time playing with Play-Doh that day, and I took photos of our creations.

Jeremy admittedly looks a little weird in this picture, but he's at that stage where it's difficult to get him with a 'normal' smile. He poses for the camera, and comes out a little freaky looking. It's a testament to his genes that even with that smirk, he's still adorable.
This is Jeremy's creation. I'm told that it's a lava pool. The brown surrounding it are large rocks, and the orange bits are cooler bits of lava.

Kadon and I worked on this one. I started off with one of the molds and my favorite colors. I got a couple cute creatures, and then Kadon caught on and decided I needed to make several more. Soon it was a full-blown creature factory. Once I used up all the purple doh, I decided that the creatures needed a pond and boulder to complete the scene.


My creatures up close. We kept calling them walruses, but I'm really not sure exactly what they're supposed to be. At any rate, they're cute and they kept us entertained for at least half an hour. What more can you ask of an afternoon?

How fun! We haven't played with play doh in ages. I remember once, when I was a kid, at a bday party we played with play doh and I ended up making an otter and the bday girls mom has called me otter ever since.

That's so awesome. I am glad you took time to take pictures of the normal days. Sometimes that is what you cherish!!
