Play Dough Fun!


Every now and then I get up the courage to do something artsy and messy and so wonderfully creative for Caleb. Every now and then.


Here, we are playing with some play dough I made. I loved making it, and it's kept so well so far (almost a month old!). For any of you other moms (or teachers) who are looking for creative learning, I've fallen in love with this blog. I bite my nails thinking about presenting Caleb with some of the very messy activities, but it's so much fun to watch him learn while playing.

I made a purple snowman. Caleb wanted to make one too (the blue one). And he very enthusiastically kept calling it a "snowman!"


Then he needed more noodles, and took my snowman apart.


So proud!

And my turkey. haha, this was before Thanksgiving, so I was trying to be festive. It made me feel so accomplished when Caleb saw it and said, "It's a turkey, Mama." yes, son, it is. Thank you. :)

brave girl. messy activities make me cringe. isn't that sad coming from the art major?

isn't it so validating when the kiddos correctly identify the masterpiece? LOL
