'It's a Snowman!"

W sat at the table and grabbed a hunk of playdoh. He started diving the playdoh into small uneven amounts. 

He picked up the first piece and gently rolled it between his palms and set it to the side. W continued to roll several more dough pieces between his hands to create different sized balls. 

"It's a ball!"

After rolling several different balls out he started stacking them up one on top of the other. 

"It's a snowman!"

He added the last ball on top when the tower of balls started falling over. 

"Oh no!"

W grabbed onto all of the balls to try and prevent the structure from falling over. 

He steadied the tower, but within seconds it fell over. 

"Oh no! Stop that!"

W tried several more times to try and keep the tower standing. No luck. 

W's persistence is undeniable. He seems to set small goals for himself as he plays. In the video above you get a quick sample of W's interaction with different materials and the imaginative play he engages in as he works.
