Play-doh Island


It always amazes me when Agustín puts something together - a Lego dog or car or spaceship. The imagination on this kid is endless. Tonight he grabbed some plastilina (Ecuadorian play-doh) and proceeded to construct an entire "dinosaur" island - with iguana, volcano, stegosaurus, a tree with a large insect on it (for the stegosaurus to eat), a shark, a crocodile. After each little creation he would ask me if I thought it looked like such-and-such, and honestly, there was no doubt about it - it was what he said.


I love when the kids ask to do "obra de arte" (crafts). One of their favorite shows is Mr. Maker, a British show where a man, Mr. Maker, makes kids' crafts. They get so psyched after his show, and want to just sit down and create. They are a lot like their Mommy in this sense.
