Your post made me recall my own kindergarten years. I did not go to kindergarten because,I had a stay at home mom and a younger brother. But as the weather cooled off and we stayed inside more, out came the flour board and the large ugly gray clay. Mom would divide the clay and warm it up for us to manipulate a tiny bit. We did good to make "snakes" and "balls". That is where our creativity stopped. Maybe because she did not directly control our play. So when our muscles were tired, we quit.<br /> But I recall at Sunday School they had bright yellow Playdoh. So today I started invesitgating Playdoh. It came about in 1956 from teachers in Cincinnati using it(a wall paper cleaning product)in their classrooms. It was at a 1956 Educational Exhibition. Once again way to go teachers!! <br /><br />Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457441004341229387noreply@blogger.com
