While we played, we talked about so many subjects: why the obleek had the liquid/solid properties how the figures sunk like the x-wing did on Degoba what pretend constellations we could make how the food coloring worked to make that neat galaxy-like swirl. There’s just so much fun in this little bowl and so much educational opportunity, too. By the time he came back with our mini-figures, the Star Wars Galaxy Obleek was ready.

I sent him to find the legos and started working. So, my son was talking about the new Star Wars movie coming out soon (yipee!) and I thought, maybe he and I could bond a little over some obleek, star wars, and a couple legos. And if we can bond while play is happening, that’s like the best part of my day. I don’t know why–before I had kids, I really didn’t play all thst much, and children ran screaming from me (literally), so I am honestly unsure of where this comes from.
