How can I explain to my daughters that they are being mean to others?

When my daughters get together they are extremely silly and have so much fun together. The other day we were also with another friend's daughter who is a bit younger, less verbal, just not as strong of a personality. The girls were giggling hysterically and calling her a poopy head, saying they wouldn't share their food with her, etc...all while laughing hysterically. My friend and I are very sensitive about not wanting "mean girl" daughters so help us understand the difference between being silly and not truly trying to be mean and consciously being unkind which I really don't think they were doing.
