Every time I sit down to play with B and her Play-Doh, I tend to raise the stakes. At least for myself. She'll say, "make a snake." Done. "Make a face." Done....after about 15 minutes...

I end up tediously crafting these sculptcreations that I'm actually quite proud of! And then B takes great pleasure in smooshing them back to their original ball of dough.

Here was one of my recent creations - although for some reason the camera would NOT capture the thing accurately. The colors were horrendously garish and blinding - not so in real life. And you can't see any of the nuances of features or anything. So, you sort of have to take my word that it really did look impressive.
