"What can I do for a nose and a mouth and eyes and ears?"
I was stumped.
She repeated her question with similar results on my part.
I thought to ask, "Tell me some of the other things you've used so far." hoping to get a clue as to what she was talking about and what she needed.
"My pants are my legs, my shirt is my belly..." she explained, gesturing to her totally naked body.
"You better show me..."
In her bedroom I found her shirt and pants set out on the floor like a chalk drawing. She was making a copy of herself with her clothes and wanted to complete the look. I suggested a plate for her head, squinkies for eyes and a bracelet for a mouth. She added those items and asked "Hmmmm, what else to I need?" I waved my arms and hands around until understanding lit up her face. "Oh, I know! A nose!"
Close enough.
She added a nose, figured out gloves for hands and some toy car seats for feet. She was pretty proud of her creation--even if it left her completely naked.
