Is it normal for my kitten to play in the litter box after pooping?

Is it normal that my kitten stays in the litter box for a while when she has already covered her poop? Like, she keeps covering it and covering it, and playing with the litter. Pet's info: Cat | Russian Blue | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 2 days old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not uncommon as they are learning to use the litter box. This usually improves with time alone. I would recommend you discourage this behavior as much as possible but other than that it should improve. Good luck and have a great day! I hope you find this information helpful!
