You can create an amazing Bead Bowl in 6 easy steps:
Step 1: Preheat bowl to 350
Step 2: Spray your bowl with lots cooking spray (make sure entire bowl is covered)
Step 3: Have your child pour melting beads into the oven safe bowl and push down and all around. (spread all around until entire bowl is covered)
Step 4: Place your bowl on a pan in the oven for 15 minutes. For little kids you can open the conversation and ask things like : what will happen to the bowl and beads etc.
Step 5: After removing your bowl from the oven you will let it completely cool before touching it directly with your hands. (you can discuss your predictions from step 4 with your child)
Step 6: Once it is completely cool you can carefully peel the bead bowl off the oven proof bowl.
