I bought some plastic animal shaped cookie cutters and Sweet Pea had a fun time using them on Play-Doh. She is still learning to regulate how hard she has to press to make the cutter actually cut, but she was always thrilled when we would pull away the extra dough to reveal the animal that was left behind.
She liked playing with the cut-out animals more than cutting them out, making the bunny hop, etc.
Notes from the Trenches: We had little tubs of Play-Doh and I had trouble smashing it out wide enough for Sweet Pea to use the cookie cutters with. Before we do this again, I will probably buy a regular sized tub of Play-Doh and a cheap rolling pin.
Rating: 2/4 stars (easy, fun)

OMG! What a fabulous site. This is wonderful and adorable and informative. You are sooo talented. And Sweet Pea, what an adorable name to use.
Nicely, nicely, done. Sign me up for your regular email, please.
Try stamps in play doh too. My LO loves this and it sure is less messy than stamps with stamp pads.
I just ran across your site today and I am in LOVE! Thank you for being so kind and sharing all your fun activities!
I am so glad you like my blog! I hope you and your tot have lots of fun trying out some of the activities.
