I think I'll pass on that one - knowing my wee one, it will be mouldering away under the table legs, in the cupboards, under her bed.........

I laike playdough!! I find it soothing to get a piece and just work it with my hands - also keeps my hands moving (the latest problem)

I'm getting terrible cramps in mine now. I can do the star trek finger thing without moving them!

[Penny]

Monsy, you have me puzzled, what exactly is the Star Trek finger thing. cheers Penny
