Did We Make a Good Impression?

I came up with a brilliant idea. The kids were bored (not suprisingly). I was bored.(even more common) We played with playdough the day before. (Obviously if you're an avid reader you can tell play dough rescues us from the doldrums quite often.) Anyhoo-we did something different. I challenged the kids to figure out what kinds of things leave an impression on the playdough. I felt such a wave of relief as this entertained them for a good 25 minutes. Now what to do with the remaining 11 hours of the day??!!
