Our plate of beans in Playdough has been sitting in the kitchen cupboard for more than a week so I decided to do something about it. I mixed more Playdough into it and let Sophie use it as a sensory sort of Playdough. It definitely felt different and she was very curious about the beans inside.
It is interesting to see Sophie pretending to feed the caterpillar some of the mixture using a spoon. I must say it did look almost edible.
When she had enough of the mixture, I gave her some brown Playdough and cutter tools. I was happy to see that she could understand more and more of my instructions. She was able to turn the cutter over when I told her to.
This was the fun part. Sophie was fascinated with the egg. It was her first contact with an egg so she kept comparing it with her Playdough ”egg”.
I needed the egg shells for Open-ended Art tomorrow so I cracked two eggs into a bowl and showed the contents to her. She was so eager to touch it but I did not let her. After all, it was our dinner!
In order to distract her from the raw eggs, I made Sophie a “spoon” and a “cup” with her black Playdough. The ultimate aim was to mix the brown and black together so that it would be a nice dark brown “egg” for tomorrow’s Open-ended Art.
Once again, Sophie showed me that she learns best by playing and enjoying herself. For as long as I could remember, she ignored me whenever I tried to teach her how to “roll” the Playdough into a ball by hand. Today, she just simply did it.

I find "M" and "m" quite challenging to make with Jumping Clay. I am sure Sophie would very soon "destroy" them... hahahaha... and I would ahve to repair again.
