Modeling Clay Morning

Zorah has been watching a lot of movies lately. Sometimes I am concerned that she does a little too much of it, but she kind of keeps it on in the foreground while she does other things. She plays with some of her toys, makes up plays, sings with any music that comes up within the movie, decorates her toys with hairties, scraps of cloth, etc.

Another thing she does while she has a video on is play with modeling clay. This stuff is so great. It beats Play-doh in some ways, especially where kids are concerned, because it never dries out. You can always make it into something new.

This morning she was watching Princes et Princesses, a movie I think I have mentioned previously. It is a series of stories animated in silhouettes, one of which is about an old lady in Japan. As Zorah was watching this one, she made a model of the lady. This is the only picture I could find of her, as she is riding the back of a man who wants to steal her coat.




Now here is a picture of Zorah's version of Oiko-san. It was hard to get a really good shot. My camera had a hard time focusing on her since she's monotone and only about an inch or two high.




After I was done taking pictures of Oiko, Zorah remade her into a collar for Floretta. It's not very clear in the photo, but she even engraved an "F" on the heart.

She was very proud of this one.
