Rachi's Wall of Blue
Rachel is always coming up with new ways to use Play Doh. She makes hats and beds and pillows and things for her toys. But today was the best ever. I was sitting at the computer, working, talking to the girls with my back to them and turned around to this:
It was Rachi's project as the blue doh is hers. When I started to praise it, Anya started adding her yellow blobs on.
Ani is smiling, Rachi is still serious about her work.
I loved this. It was so beautiful, turning the wall into something alive, teaming with blue worm creatures. Rachi was very serious about it, where she put the doh, etc. This is part of what I want my kids to be able to do. I want them to see the wall as canvas, anything as canvas. It is completely rad.

Wow, beautiful! Though my favorite part is that you encouraged them, rather than yelling about making a mess on the wall :o)

So cool! I wish I could let myself do that to my walls.

Howdy!
I am so glad to read about your and your twins' doh.
I made the decision to let my son have complete creative reign over the walls of his room and my mom freaked out! He has really made his space his own- he has a complex system of hieroglyphs that let visitors (of a more sympathetic nature) know on a subconcious level, what is permissable and welcome in his room. By the way, I am looking forward to your next marketing installment on the Storque!
