Play Like a Two Year Old

Our granddaughter received some Play Doh for her 2nd birthday. With her encouragement, I started playing.


I even bought myself my own set of dough and some implements. I never had a set like this as a kid. I figured it was about time.


On my own, I only played for a few minutes while backing up my computer. Predictably, I made a heart


with some details:






It's good for me to stretch this "creative play with no specific end in mind" muscle. I rarely engage in messy, unstructured play. Even before I started, I checked Pinterest for some ideas and a jumping off point. Confession: I literally had to mess up my tools before I took this photo because I tend to line things up in rows.

Somehow, little Abby doesn't need to do that.
