Emma designed this play dough monster after asking for play dough and googley eyes because she remembered using them together back in January. She put her minimalist tendencies aside, instead stuffing as many eyes as possible onto the play dough. Johnny was duly impressed:

I had to grin as soon as I saw Emma’s monster. So much fun!!! I think I’m as impressed as Johnny was! :)

Hee hee, my kids mainly have their toys caught in play-doh. Not so much the creation of different monsters, which is odd. Love his look of shock.

I love the look on his face, hilarious! Cute idea too. I can’t find my bag of googley eyes.

My kids love these eyes and they love play-doh. We’ve never combined them. You’ve given me a fun new idea.
We’re sharing a recipe for homemade “moon sand” this week. You and you’re creative children would love it! :)

Love it! What is it about one million googly eyes confined in a small area? Oh, oh, suddenly remembered the mythological story of Argus the watcher with one hundred eyes that I’d been fascinated with as a child.
Here is a link to it:

Wish I had that story book still. It’s in dad’s house, miles away!

@LiEr – I remember Argos, but only vaguely. Must not have been told as magically in my storybook =)
My mom had a storybook growing up about dolls coming to life that I ADORED. It got lost somewhere along the dozens of moves, but I’ve always wanted to find that story again. There’s another storybook of hers I want – it’s a collection of animal stories, and one of the stories is about pussywillow buds that come to life as tiny little fairy kittens. I actually fussed enough about that story that she brought me a photocopy of the story to keep when Lily was born!

Before now I never considered mixing the two media (are googly eyes a media?) – but this is great! My daughter is sure to love this. Adding googly eyes will bring more life to her playdough creations! Thanks for the idea.
