my favorite memory from my birthday party (turning 7) was decorating cookies with friends … seems a pretty fun way to make your favours at the party.

I just found this, but I am totally on board. The stuff is awful, toxic, and really hurts to step on. I pledge to do my best to get rid of it.

Thank you for this post. I just received an order from Oriental Trading and it came along with a nice warning about chemicals that may cause cancer and reproductive harm. (Umm… that are IN the CPC I was going to give out in goodie bags!). It just woke me up again. I thought these particular toys were safe since they were hard plastic (not soft phthalate stuff), but actually I need to remember that all cheap plastic should be avoided. I am returning a whole lot of CPC and getting a bit more creative! I think I might make teeny tiny books to put in the goodie bags along with stickers and a few other things. Thank you to the previous commenter who mentioned a puppet show! I think I will do that as well.
