How to Make Shrinky Dinks from Materials You Have at Home

I always loved Shrinky Dinks, because they seem kind of magical. Put the plasticy material in the oven and it shrinks, but your image still looks pretty much the same as when you made it in larger form.

Did you know you can make shrink plastic from materials you’re probably throwing out right now?

Get all the details on the right plastic to use and how to use it to make your own shrinking projects at Little Sprouts Learning. The post talks about using them for Valentine’s Day projects, but they’d make a great Earth Day project, or when you just need something to do on a summer day or any other time.
