Shrinky Dinks

I always try and take something for Violet and Lincoln to do when I babysit. It's either that or get stuck playing Barbie's. Yesterday's arts and craft project was Shrink Fun Fairies or as we used to call them - Shrinky Dinks.

I can't remember how we made them years ago but in this package you used a colored pencil to color the polystyrene plastic sheets. The fairies were approximately 4" tall and paper thin. After baking, they were about 2" tall. We were real disappointed because Melissa's oven light was out so it was hard to watch the fairies shrink and harden.

As we were putting our fairy garden together, Melissa called and we were off to meet for lunch. Time flies when you're having fun!
