Playing dough

Yesterday night itself we decided it is going to be a 'Play- dough ' day tomorrow.  In the morning , somehow it turned out  Ruby and Pearl would do a guest post for me .They didn't do much writing or typing actually . But they came up with a great clay model . They take it from here :)


My sister and I love to play with dough. We make flowers,mushrooms, diagrams and animals.When we went for summer camp they showed us how to make dough.Today we are making a scenery.It has a horse ,boat and a mushroom.



They outdo me when it comes to ideas and making models . So I just sit with them and enjoy their work . Clay has been a great help in bringing out  Ruby's ideas.  They didn't right away start making super- duper clay models . A great deal of clay has been lost in that journey . All Colours  got  mixed  up and  there was always a lot of mess . One fine day they started to make  nice models  and I don't know when this transition really occured . Now they keep it  separate in their respective boxes after use and don't mix up colours . Here are some other clay models done by them .
