Playdough, Pippi, och Prickar

Pardon the Swedish word in the title for those of you who don't understand Swedish. I was going for alliteration. Prickar means "freckles", so it is very appropriate, if you read on.
I didn't get around to pulling the camera out during the actual play, but I thought the table afterwards merited photos. Today we combined the play dough with small plastic animals.

Sunny had all of hers in a circle around a clumb of dough . . . sort of a surreal watering hole of sorts.


Josephine slowly and carefully lined up a whole row of animals down the entire length of the table.


And somebody left this imprint of a scorpion in a piece of dough.


Later in the day the girls dressed up (well, they are actually dressed up all day long, but they changed to new costumes).

Ida was transformed into Pippi Longstockings. She insisted on having her horse along as well.




Here I've tried to zoom in on their faces . . . pardon the poor resolution, but I wanted to show that they all wanted to have freckles, so out came my lipliner pencil. It all began with a dire need for freckles on Pippi, but then everyone else was so enthalled with the look that we ended up with freckle-faced princesses as well.
