Yesterday, I brought home a copy of the Penis Pokey Activity Book. And, since, by design, it looks like a children’s book with a dry-erase marker included, my 3 year old daughter was naturally intrigued by it. So, here’s what happens when you let a 3 year old play with the Penis Pokey Activity Book. NOTICE: If you are not familiar with the book, it is completely harmless with no depictions of genitalia at all. So, it is not necessary to question my parenting skills.
I started her off by just letting her draw on the blank pages. Easy enough. Here’s what she drew…
Pretty harmless, right? Though, I did get the question…”Daddy, why is there a hole in the book?” My answer was simple “Same reason there’s a hole in a donut. It’s more fun that way.” She seemed satisfied…for now. She asked me to draw with her. Here’s what I drew…
Pretty talented, huh? After that, she got curious and ventured onto other pages. Here’s what she came up with…
That’s a pretty good drawing for a 3 year old, right? Clearly a face. We moved onto a little interactive fun…
I did the one on the left and she did the one on the right. Is it obvious? And, then she tackled an Alien invasion…
Everything was cruising along fine until we got to the Two-Headed Dragon. Innocently, she asked me “Um. Daddy. If it’s a two-headed dragon, where are the heads?”…”Oh, honey. You’re supposed to draw the head yourself.” And, you can see, I drew the head myself…
To be honest, I found the whole thing pretty funny. And, she managed to kill 30 minutes drawing in this book. Again, harmless entertainment with a dose of “kids say the darnedest things” thrown in for good measure.
So, it’s safe to say that this book has a ton of possibilities. Enjoy, responsibly!
