Yes, a puppet show would be nice, but this was no ordinary puppet show. I can always tell when my kids are bored. Its as if they collapse to the floor, conveniently in front of where ever I happen to be, as if the boredom has taken them over and exhausted their ability to stand. My mother use to call this obsurd behavior "woddling".( and if my mother had a name for it my brother and sister must have dont it, not me of course) So as I sat there watching TV one day, another type of show came on. Lets call it the woddling show, and oh my this was quite a long episode. My daughter was putting her feet on me, trying to get attention anyway so I picked up a pen that was close by and drew happy faces on all of her toes. That's it, that was all the effort on my part to create a world within her in which feet were people, and they could talk to her, or me, or to the dog. Her toe people could have funny voices, and say funny things like "hey I smell something funny, do you smell it?" There you have it, this Fun Jar has so many open endings you can take flight on! You can even do it to your own toes and have a toe conversation, make an upside down laundry basket into a stage, take turns laying on your back and putting on silly plays with your feet. I have added a picture for special effect, enjoy!
