So this morning she learned how to play with play doh. Or rather, I played with play doh while she watched with fascination and played with the tools that came along with it.
She didn't like feeling it--I tried to get her to squeeze it in her hands, but she would mostly just poke it and take her hand away. She liked patting it down with her hand, and she liked trying to use the scissors, though she couldn't really figure them out and just ended up using them to stab into the play doh.
I got one color out at a time, and when she'd say she was all done I'd put it away...but then she'd say, "boooooooo" and want the blue can out, or "wewllwo" and want the yellow can, and so forth. We eventually played with every color, though I only got them out one at a time (so the colors wouldn't mix). She especially liked it when I used the garlic press looking tool to make "spaghetti." She didn't even try to put it in her mouth! We're making progress in that department (though she still does put the occasional acorn top in her mouth!).
But she enjoyed it, and I'm sure she'll learn to like touching it before long.

I've never tried play-doh with Katy, and she went over to a neighbor's house recently and they had some, and the mom told me, "Katy just ate it, so I gave up and put it away." So I need to introduce that soon, I guess.
