Shrinky Dink Paper, Cridoz 50Pcs Shrinky Dink Sheets Shrink Plastic Film for Keychains and Kids Creative Art Craft Marking

These were bigger for the same price as a smaller 50 pack. The only difference is they are a bit more fragile and I havto use a spatula to flatten them out in the oven. The other pack I didn’t havto they just ended up perfectly flat. But these do need a press flat before pulling out of the oven. The price is great so if I buy more if the price is the same i would buy these. The photo shows that they shrink good and we use color pencil and markers.

I teach 3rd graders about heat. I love ending my heat unit by making shrinky dinks. It also happens to end right before Christmas break so we turn these into Christmas ornaments. The kids love making them each year. We color with colored pencils and then outline in black sharpie.

The first time I put the shrinky paper in the oven they half shrunk and made bowls. Experimented a bit and having my oven on at 325 and letting the pan heat up in the oven really helped. Then I'd throw the shrinky paper on and it would curl up and then flatten out. I then take it out and flatten on my counter even more with a spatula and leave something heavy on it while it cools for a couple of minutes. My kids have been making tons of stuff. I was even able to put the half shrunk bowls back in the oven and they flattened out and look great.

I’m one to never write reviews, but I read the previous reviews, and one big complaint was that they fold over or bump up. I baked mine at 325 degrees and watched till they started to fold up. I flatten them w a spatula, and continue to bake. They did stay flat even after they’d cooled. I hope this is a helpful tip to someone else:)

The size of the paper was accurate. The color is like frosty but once you put it in the oven, it comes out clear. My class had Fun making these for Fathers Day.
