should I even worry or just see how she does?

my 27 month old is at school 2x a week from 9-3ish.  She is mixed in with 2-3 yr olds- and she is one of the younger ones- meaning a lot of the other kids just turned 3.  And she is one of a few that is there only 2x a week.  Most of them are there 3 or more. 

With that said last week the teacher told me that she didnt want to do that days craft activity- each day she was there- and apparently she was the only one- she wanted to play with the toys.  She didnt cause that much a of a stir- the teacher described her as "cranky" on both occasions. 

I am thinking come on she is only 2 but then if she is the only one not doing it is there an issue I am overlooking?  The teacher doesnt seem bothered but its still in the back of my mind.

I think that she will get to the crafts when she is ready to, being that's she's young and the teacher isn't worried, I'd go with the flow. Maybe just encourage her to do crafts when you can, see what happens.

My DS has a mind all his own.  So if he did not want to do craft, then I would not think anything of it.

Maybe she thought the craft was lame. We get bored all the time with stuff, why wouldn't kids?

Worry because she wouldn't do crafts?  not at all.  Maybe it was an activity that didn't interest her.  There are other things she'd probably prefer to do.  Mine does some crafts and doesn't do others.  Just like adults, they have their own preferences.

Meh, I'd cut her some slack since she's the youngest. DS is among the youngest in a room of 3, 4 and 5 year olds and I'm sure there's a ton of stuff he can't or won't do because it's geared towards the older kids.
