[.ca] The Shrinky Dinks Book: The Ultimate Book of Plastic ... (ISBN 1570544077)

having fun "again"!:
I had my own shrinky dink kit when I was a kid of 7 or so. I'm so glad that they have returned to the market. My kids are 8 and 5 and we've been through 5 sheets already! The designs are easy to trace and color in. Lots of ideas for accessorizing the patterns that you create. Only one problem that needs improving. The letters need to be traced on backwards to read the correct way once the pattern is shrunk. The letters that come with the kit though are not backward. You really need to get creative to put the letters onto the plastic backward so they read the correct direction when shrunk. Other than that the kit is FANTASTIC!! Thanks Klutz!

your kids will love shrinky dinks:
My daughter was given Shrinky Dinks for her 6th birthday. They were a hit among all of the adults aged 20 and older. My daughter asked to do some as soon as her guests had left. She traced and colored for an hour - (something I could not get her to do if my life depended on it.) Now every time she has a friend over she shows them what she has created and thats usually what they want to do. An awesome craft project.

Way Cool...for everybody!:
I bought this book figuring it would be a great thing to do. I was right! Filled from cover to cover with imaginative drawings to trace onto Shrinky-Dinks plastic/paper, you can spend hours with your nose inside. :) You simply pick a picture or design you like, trace and color it, cut it out, place on a cookie/baking sheet, and bake at the required temperature! In a matter of minutes your designs are shrunk. There are instructions on how to make keychains and jewelry, both of which actually turn out very nicely. I'm sure adults will like this book, too. You can buy refills for the Shrinky-Dinks plastic once you've used it all up, which you probably will!

Can't get enough of these books:
I was so pleased to see the shrink art packaged for kids. I use the shrint art refills for my own crafts--the plastic sheets can be die cut, painted, inked and coloured with pencils. so easy to shrink in the toaster oven. My children use it too--they have created all kinds of things besides the designs in the book, which is what it's all about, isn't it?

Can't get enough of these books:
I have been using shrink art platic for ages--as a crafter I use the shrink art refills for my own crafts--the plastic sheets can be die cut, painted, inked and coloured with pencils. So easy to shrink in the toaster oven. I was so pleased to see shrink art packaged for children. The book is clear, simple, lots of ideas and everything together in one place. The book is careful to emphasize adult help with the actual "baking" of the finished art. My kids have created all kinds of things besides the designs in the book, which is what it's all about, isn't it?
