Yep. There was this liquid plastic you'd pour in the mold and cook it on a plate that got upwards of 250 degrees. You used these little squeeze tongs to manipulate the mold. Burned myself on the mold a lot getting the cooked creature out -- or flowers, which I also had. So, yeah.. totally child safe. ;;D
....well that, and then there were brainiacs like me that tried melting down OTHER plastic toys on them or in them.....

A slide rule. A manual calculator. Used before electronic calculators became available. I used one up through my freshman year in college. Then I got an electronic TI calculator for around $200, and weighed about a pound, that did the same as $1 calculators do today.
Oh, I just copied answers from one of my friends in math class......no wonder I didn't recognize it :D
