Happy Thursday! We ended our week with a pretty funny and happy accident in the beginning of our day. As you can imagine any time we play with playdoh it is inevitable some or all will fall on the floor. Not a problem since we tend to embrace messes. There are times, however, that playdoh is intentionally thrown on the floor and that's when things tend to get interesting... like today!
While playing at the table B, T, and W were happily making all kinds of molds, cut outs, and whatnot with their individual playdoh piles. After a few minutes, there was a decent amount of playdoh on the floor which T found particularly entertaining. He decided he too would put his pile of dough on the floor. I watched as he dropped it, climbed off his chair, and then deliberately stepped on it. At first, I was ready to ask him to pick it up off the floor and place it on the table, but then I took a moment to just watch and wait to see what happened.
T picked up his playdoh and brought it over.
"Shoe!" he said as he pointed to the print he made with the bottom of his shoe. How clever!
B noticed the fun we were having and decided he wanted to try too. For the next 10 minutes the two of them would take turns smashing some playdoh onto the floor and then step on it to make a print. We talked about how they all looked different and had various shapes imprinted into the bright green dough.
"Square!"
"Angle [triangle]!"
The three of us laughed as it was just too funny stepping in playdoh, something we typically do not do. All in all, a happy accident that was fun to embrace for a little bit during our day.
Have a great weekend!
