I remembered these from when I was a kid so we got some for ours. These are fun. The color goes on easy and you are free to use a stencil provided or to make your own stuff. If you write something on them small and then shrink them it is like micro printing a special message. When they shrink they get a little thicker and hard so they ring a little when they hit stuff. These make great cell phone charms. Use good markers to color them before shrinking. You can color both sides but it is difficult to match sides. It is cool when they shrink because it starts out so uneven like crinkled paper and in about fifteen seconds after it starts it evens out just right. We used our toaster oven with the pan covered in tin foil.

My 6 yr old daughter really enjoys coloring and making jewelry with shrinky dinks! We like to watch them melt, curl up, shrink and somehow magically turn into tiny pieces of really cute, durable artwork. I like them because they are not messy!

This was another christmas gift for our daughter. She loves arts and crafts. She also is a huge jewelry fan. This kit encompasses both of those things. She really enjoyed coloring the pieces and there were a suprisingly large amount of them. But the best part, of course, is watching them shrink in the oven!! The only downside to the product was the beading string that came with it. It is not very sturdy. I would recommend buying a stronger variety on your own.

Great fun for a small birthday/slumber party. Three 6 year olds and two 7 year olds were held captive by creativity and the wonderful shrinking transformation. The next morning, they made jewelry from their creations. A great project!
Precut and prehole-punched shapes to color in make this easier for the younger set. All the girls enjoyed making this in combination with blank Shrinky Dink sheets.
It comes with jewelry findings and string.
Highly recommend.

Got 'em for the 5 year old in the house but I have to tell you they are SO FUN. There is something magical about things shrinking the way these do. They become these awesome hard button like things that look even better shrunk than not shrunk. Another one of those things, that at least with this brand, has not lost its quality in lie of profit. I'm buying the fairy set next then some blank sheets to make necklace items.

My 4 year old and I spent an entire evening making every last bit of jewelry possible. Very fun pieces...and plenty of them. They all cooked and shrank just like they were supposed to. We highly recommend this to all shrinky dink fans!

Great fun to do with kids. They love watching them shrink. It's fun to have an activity to do with my niece and nephew that I used when I was little. A lot of fun.

I bought this for my twin girls when they were almost 5. It is still one of their favorite craft projects even as kindergartners at almost 6. It is always the first gift they think to give their friends. It has become our go-to-gift for birthday parties. There is a nice variety of projects with a lot of pieces to color. It makes for a nice gift as it doesn't get used up in one use and is reasonably priced. Each time we give it, the girls love it as a gift and the moms get to reminisce about the days when we did Shrinky Dinks as kids. Who doesn't love to watch them bake!

Bought this for my 9 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She used it with her 11 year old cousin and they had a great time. Times are not necessarily accurate as we had to bake it more than the 3 minutes as the first batch did not bake properly. The second batch was fine and the girls loved watching it in the oven and then putting the jewelry together.

This was a gift for my grand daughters - they are 5 and 7 and needed help with the oven but loved doing the rest. Came on or before delivery date
