It’s All In The Interpretation
When I got excited about dyeing our own play silks, some people asked, “What do you do with them?”
Usually I say something like, “They are great for open ended play! They can be capes, a “camp fire”, a doll blanket, a “river”, or anything the child can imagine!”
Maybe that answer wasn’t the complete truth.
Here is what really happens at Casa de Mom Most Traveled when we break out the play silks:
I call it “exploring our artistic sides”.
This post is definitely party worthy! If you need more party, visit the Ultimate Blog Party at 5 Minutes for Mom. It really is the ultimate; a bagillion blogger participants and something like 200 prizes. Woot!

Thanks for dropping by my site! I was at yours earlier tonight and tried to leave a comment but it kept telling me comments were closed. I love your dance - it soooo reminds me of when my boys were littler and we used to rock the house. I need to crank the tunes tomorrow and get us going again!

I got a kick out of your video. I used to dance with my daughter when she was little. I always loved to dance, and it seemed to relax her.
Dancing is great exercise & fun!

One of my boys did some great interpretive dancing when he was about 9 years old. Then he wouldn’t dance at all for years!

Nice dance moves you’ve got there. I love to dance with my kiddos too, but now my 4 year old looks at me like I’m crazy. I usually respond with “What, Momma likes to bust a move!”
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Megan
