Little Known Uses

We have several objects in our home that have non-conventional uses. Take for example the pizza cutter. We use it to cut pancakes, waffles, and quesadillas quickly. The garlic press doubles as a play dough hair-maker. And then there's an old medicine dropper that Elizabeth has adopted: It can make play dough strings or worms, depending on her needs.
Maddie (left) and Annie (right) have really started getting into drawing. The writing utensil of choice varies, but they stay on the paper pretty well most of the time. I love the sweet concentration on their faces as they try to manipulate their crayons and pencils.

Are their dominant hands different, or do they switch around which hands they use to draw?

Those are good ideas :)

Looks like Maddie had a great skill with the pencil.

Tasha- they don't have a preferance yet with their hands. They switch back and forth a lot.
