play-doh weekend

i took the weekend off to be with the boys & we discovered that play-doh is a fun & educational activity enjoyed by both young & old, more so for big bro an. not recommended for lil bro han yet. ah ma, being an experienced (though retired) teacher that she is suggested play-doh for an. she thought he was at the right age to truly appreciate it. so we went out & got ourselves 4 colourful tubs of play-doh. i love their bright & striking colours! definitely a plus for kids!

i don’t think anyone needs to buy a complete play-doh kit if you’ve basic kitchenware at home like rounded plastic knives (kids-friendly type), biscuit cutters that you hardly use or even old jelly trays. anything can be a mould as long as it’s not sharp & won’t poke into the kid’s eyes. make sure the trays aren’t too deep or else you'll have a tough time taking the moulded dough out. i actually bought fancy plastic biscuit cutters in the shapes of a ship, aeroplane, car, etc - the shapes you know they’ll like most.

playing with an brought me back to my childhood days. me playing with plasterscene, making nothing into something. it was good for imaginary “masak-masak” where you can make your food come alive. haha!
