I bought R some playdoh (I know you can make it, but there's no way I am actually going to do that, being maybe the world's least crafty person: here's a more
enterprising blogger's recipe.).
Such a good investment: it's bought me hours of free time. I thought she would make sculptures out of it, or at least use her toy rolling pins (another birthday present) to roll it out. But actually she just likes pretending it's food (and yes she has lots of plastic/cloth food toys, which she never touches).
Here she is at her little table, preparing dinner for her dolls.
She also likes sticking things into the playdoh (particularly long, skinny objects like crayons) and then leaving them there. Thus all the crayons on the table. The playdoh piles look a bit like birthday cakes, though I don't know if that's R's intention.

lol this is so cute. I didn't think to combine play doh and cooking..gooooood idea
ReplyDeleteHaha, I didn't either: it's all R's idea. I guess this is proof that ignorance can lead to creativity?
DeleteThanks for the blog shout-out. It's really pretty easy if you want to try it, I promise. :) It looks like R has a lot of fun cooking equipment! I keep thinking I should get my daughter a play kitchen. Maybe for her birthday.
ReplyDeleteR's play kitchen is great: she really loves it. It's the one from Ikea and is relatively non-ugly/unobtrusive (important as it's in the living room).
