Asha is working with playdough. She uses a metal ring to form a round shape of playdough. She then places a small piece of dough in the center of the circle.
Look! This is Drippy Droppy’s eye.
A circle.
I ruined it because I have to fix it.
Asha crumbles up her playdough, returns most of it to the middle of the table and then scoops out a new ball of dough. She rolls it around in her hands for a minute until she feels it is the right texture. She then puts it down on the table and pushes down on it, first with one hand and then with both of her hands. She stands up and pushes her chair back so that she can use the power of her whole body to flatten out the playdough.
This is Drippy Droppy’s eyeball. Another eyeball. Now I’m going to make Drippy Droppy’s mouth.
Asha carefully places the mouth below the two eyes. She takes a moment to give her playdough Drippy Droppy a few gentle pats, much like she does for her classmates when they are feeling upset and/or crying. She is finished with her Drippy Droppy made out of playdough. Diane wonders if Asha would like to draw a picture of Drippy Droppy at the table set up with markers and paper. She does want to draw and she sits down at the table.
