My little guy was a bit hesitant to play with his new dough I made for him. He always takes a bit of time getting use to new toys or activities. We quite often have to bring in his new toy and let it sit in the corner for a few days before he will explore.

Cookie cutters are a great accessory to add to your play dough activity. I purchased some letter cutters for my little guy because he has a huge fascination with letters. You could also check your baking drawer for any cutters that maybe you never really use. A rolling pin is great too! If you do not have one on hand you can always allow the kids to roll their dough with a plastic cup.
