Niko is only interested in “cylinders” or “space boulders” when it comes to play-doh. And you can only have so many snowmen vs. worms battles before it gets pretty boring. So I have been trying to step up my Play-doh skills. Here are some I’ve had luck with beyond my original forms:

• bowls of cereal – positive: easy to make, resembles ash tray from Home Economics so skill already acquired. Negative: when spilled, cereal quickly eaten by dog and/or easily ground into hardwood floor cracks & rugs.
• Glass of… – this one just keeps on giving. Glass of water? How about orange juice? Hey, here is some grape juice? How about pomegranate? Time to learn about anti-oxidants.
• Once you master the “glass of…” a nice variation is the martini. Plus it can be early training for “getting dad a drink.”
• Once we got to the igloo things got a little out of control. I quit when he started asking for an eskimo.
