Rolling in the Dough

Vanessa and her mommy made playdough the beginning of last week. Just recently Vanessa has developed an inconsistent sensitivity to "dirty" hands, so it was interesting to watch her explore the dough. She poked it. And she picked up the bit I rolled using the palm of my hand. She tried rolling a little bit of her own. Besides that, though, she played with the dough using various objects to avoid touching it.

The left picture shows how we started, a set up by Mommy. The picture on the right is of Vanessa's work.

Did you know that the Play-Doh was first designed as a wallpaper cleaner?
