That being said, these connections are not immediate and are not made at the time of the engagement with the show or apps. He averages watching Creative Galaxy for about an hour every other week, and the Kindle Fire is a rare treat that he gets for about an hour a month. The last time he engaged either was a few weeks ago.
So this is how it works. Daddy has today off, so KiKi and I are watching him play a video game. Then KiKi decides he's done watching the game and uses his device to ask for "scissors" and "paper". In that order. I give him scissors. He again asks for paper, then points to a roll of easel drawing paper that's still in the wrapper. I nod and he brings me the paper to open. I open it, and he sits in the living room floor to cut a piece of paper. First piece is too small, so he puts it aside and cuts another. I'm curious what he's going to do with the paper, because at this point he hasn't asked for anything else to go with it.
Then he goes to his device and asks for a "paintbrush" and "paint". I sign "where" (technically "how"), and he goes over to a watercolor paint tray and touches it. I nodded and gave him the paint, and a cup of water for it. He's asked for the water to be refreshed three times, and he's not done yet. This is what it looks like so far.
