Fun with Play-Doh

Yesterday, we bought Samantha some play-doh at the store. I didn't really know that she had an interest in it until we started going to our local playgroup and she was able to play with it there. Boy, was she ever excited just carrying it around in the shopping cart with her!

After she got up from her nap, we set her up in the kitchen and she played with it for such a long time ... In fact, she cried when I told her that it was time for dinner and that we needed to clean it up. I promised that we could play with it again today. I'm excited about this activity because there are a lot of shapes that we can work with and we can practice her fine motor skills using the kid-friendly plastic "scissors" and "knife" that are included in the kit.
