Play-Doh was originally made to remove marks on walls made by various bumps and swipes, as well as "art" from children. But like a lot of things, its intended purpose is not what it is used for now. Now it is a medium for creative play by children, and adults who don't “wanna” grow up.
After awhile the "dough" dries out and becomes all crumbly and yucky. Like with a lot of things, the use and enjoyment comes to an end. (Or does it??) This can be something to sing a sad song about, or simply unimportant and we move on to play with the next toy.
To “move on” and “get over it” are hard things to learn. And yet, Nature does it all the time. Actually, it just transforms into something else or something better. When the snow finishes melting it is time to move on, and distract us with a different toy. Can we say “mud pies”?
Go on and find something to play with. And maybe someone will fix the Play-Doh so the young and the young at heart have something to play with again later...
