Shrink Art
What better way to spend a rainy afternoon than doing some shrink art? This used to be one of my favourite crafts when I was little (but we called it shrinky dinks) so I was excited to do it with the kids. And they loved it too. I had actually bought these kits quite a long time ago but realized afterwards that it couldn't be done in a gas oven. In the meantime, we got a new oven that's not gas and so we can now do shrink art.

Great rainy day project! They did a great job! I must say I've never done this. We might have to give it a try!

My kids LOVE that too! And we did "Shrinky Dinks" when I was a kid. I guess it wouldn't be appropriate to call them that now....;-)
I've never heard of this before! Cool! Oh to be able to live vicariously through your kids :0)
That looks like it was probably a lot of fun! I can't wait until I have kids to do stuff like that with (-:
