This amazing thing called the 'play-doh'

Ever since I became a mom and have been exposed to all the wonderful toys developed for the kids of this generation, I strongly feel that we had a deprived childhood. Just walk into a toy-store and they practically have a miniature toy for everything an adult uses at home. The other day I saw a toy shaving kit and I couldn't stop laughing
Just recently I discovered this amazing thing called 'play-doh'. Why didn't someone think of this 30 years back? Not only are the kids having fun playing with it, but I have taken a liking to it myself. I have to admit, I have been stealing chances of playing with it whenever the kids are busy with other things. How this little soft dough of clay renders beautifully between the moulds of your 2 hands.

We started out with some standard shape moulds and then gradually moved on to creating more interesting objects like the bouquet of flowers as shown below.
