Dorodango

So, have you ever played with mud before? Dorodango is like making a ball out of mud but in a really fun and special way.

Basically, you take some dirt and mix it with water to make it wet and sticky. Then, you carefully shape it into a ball, just like making a snowball.

But that's not all! You then start to polish the ball really, really well. Imagine you're polishing a big shiny button. You rub it and you keep rubbing it until it becomes smoother and shinier.

You can use lots of different tools like spoons, cloth, or even your hands. And you keep repeating this polishing process many times until your ball gets harder and shinier.

And finally, you have a dorodango! A beautiful shiny ball made out of dirt and water by using lots of patience and care.
