It's never to early to TRY.

Katie is 14 mos. here. I had been so excited to color with my baby, that despite knowing that she would eat the crayons, I HAD to get her some.
She does have some in her teeth in this picture, but you know what? That's ok. She also did scribble the most beautiful scribbles I have ever seen.
The moral of this story, is go ahead and try crafts with your baby. As long as your "supervising" them, they'll be ok. And have lots of learning fun.





























Now for play-doh, I will admit 14 mos was a little early. She apparently LOVED the flavor. But it is such a great sensory experience. So, if you little one can't keep it out of their mouth, just put it in a zipper bag and they can still pound it out but can't eat it.
