very cool!! play dough was a great sensory outlet for me when i was little, it feels and smells great! the only problem with it is that the colors mix into a really unappealing grey, haha!

Along with boardgames, LEGO has been a recurring interest of mine even into adulthood. Honestly, it's worse as an adult as I have money to drop on a set that should probably go towards something else, but I don't have someone around to tell me, "No." :D

Other childhood interests include computers and programming, Battle Beasts, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, various video games, and model rockets.

In some ways I don't think my interests as a child were as obsessional because Google and Wikipedia weren't really a thing yet. Magazines, catalogs, and a few books had to satisfy my needs for more info on my special interests. 'Research' is much easier now. :lol:

Playdough has a smell? (I'm anosmic so I never knew this.)
