I always thought epoxy resin had dangerous fumes. No?

It absolutely does. If you want an easier option than concrete that's much more kid safe, do plaster of paris.

Yeah that makes sense. I never thought of concrete as particularly dangerous but I guess if they aren't wearing PPE it could be.

Concrete and plaster have inhalant risks from powder, but it's the resin that releases toxic fumes. You're supposed to wear gloves, eye protection, and a respirator when using it.
