Make Your Own Home-Made Goop And Play Dough
 

If you are one of those moms that worry about the quality of play dough and goop available off- the-shelf, make your own toxin-free play dough and goop at home. These are very useful for developing motor skills of infants and toddlers as they squeeze, knead and roll it. So even if the toddler pops it in the mouth, there is no need for panic.
