I want play-dough

Remember Gwendolyn was once a hygiene freak and refused to touch anything "dirty" (either in form or in substance)? However, after going to school for roughly 5 months, her "hygiene freak" traits are finally fading away. She doesn't mind picking up food with her fingers, she can dip her fatty little fingers into squishy finger paints and dive her chubby little hands into the play-doh!

Few days ago, Papa and Mama went to buy a set of play-dough, with fun accessories, e.g. scissors, shape cutters, rolling pins, pressers, etc, for our little princess. As she has been asking to use the scissors whenever we dine outside and cut up the food for her, we've decided that the play-dough scissors are the safest form, with no blade! In school, teachers have been making play-dough with the children with flour, water and salt, but at home, Papa and Mama took the easier way out by buying ready-made...hehe...

she enjoys seeing Papa roll the play-dough into round balls and then use a rolling pin to flatten them into ovals! She will take turn with Papa in holding up the play-dough pieces and cutting them apart with the scissors. She presses the shape cutters onto the play-dough to make different shapes. She enjoys pressing her own hands and feet onto the 4 play-dough lumps the most and will admire her own hands and feet afterwards...
