Just make sure you bake these outside – Whether it’s on your barbecue, or whether you take your toaster oven outside. Don’t bake them in the house. The plastic vapours that come out when the beads melt are really strong.

But I can’t help myself....

My two girls have had troubles with sibling rivalry, pretty much from birth. So when it was Kate’s 1st birthday, I wanted to have a special activity for 3 year old Leah to do while I was getting the rainbow birthday party ready… plus, I thought it might help get her into the birthday spirit. So I gave her a mini muffin tin, a bunch of cupcake liners, birthday candles and pom poms, and she made play dough birthday cupcakes....
