Any unknown chemical should be thoroughly rinsed with cool water for ~10 minutes. I'm guessing based on it being a 'kids' product (sorta), that its non-toxic. I'd recommend rinsing well anyway, wash with soap afterward. Do not eat :D

If the color-changing liquid crystal is cholesteryl nonanoate, it should be safe enough to touch. Just wash it off and don't eat it.
