At a certain point, she had learned that hands are good for holding things, but she would only grasp a toy if you literally put it in her hand.
Newborn babies do in fact have a grip-reflex: this does not need to be learnt initially. Put anything in the palm of a newborn and they will grasp it. I think there is a tendancy for this reflex to be lost prior to re-learning how to grasp things consciously.

Yup, she would definitely grip your finger if you put it in her palm as a newborn.
