That being said, here's the Rice version. Stay with me now, it's kinda long, but well worth it!
I microwaved each plate for 2 minutes, decided they weren't ready yet, and did another minute each, and then another minute each (total of 4 minutes).
After they had cooled off, I let the kiddos each pick a paint color and start painting.
(they had decided that they couldn't have the same color stars)
Now for the fun part of the story.
While they were painting I decided to make a couple of stars with the leftover dough for myself.
As I was making my stars, I noticed that something was stinking up the kitchen. Being the great detective I am, I figured out that my sweet little daughter, who refuses to use the potty, had done a #2 in her pull-up.
Before changing her, I placed the 2 stars I had made on a plate, stuck it in the microwave and hit 4 (for 4 minutes, remember how it took 4 minutes total for the first two batches?), so they could cook while I changed her diaper.

Sooo....before actually getting the chance to complete the changing process, I smelled yet another terrible smell. My thought process-"What is that? Smells AWFUL. Smells like, like, OH NO! Smoke!!!" I hopped up off the floor, ran into the kitchen, which was quickly filling with smoke, and over to the microwave. I opened the door, expecting it to be filled with fire. Thank God there was only more smoke. Oh, and two burnt clay-dough stars, and a melted plate.
Being the smart cookie that I am, I had put my two stars on a plastic plate.
And now for the zoomed out version:
Yes, it is sitting on my deck in the snow...where else was I going to put a melted, smoking, burning plate???Good one, huh? Sometimes I wonder where my brain went...
