And I've been having fun with Shrinky Dinks with the kids. I look after two extra children after school for a few afternoons a week. When it's wet and windy they tend to get a little stir crazy. It was particularly horrible weather-wise yesterday, so the shrinky dinks came out. We are totally addicted to these! The kids drew some freehand ones and then traced pictures out of books. It kept a 4 year old, a 6 year old, an 8 year old and a 10 year old entertained for nearly two hours. Worth it's weight in gold! You can buy the sheets of Shrinky Dink plastic from Klutz (via Whitcoulls if you are a Kiwi). Just look for the refill pack so you don't have to buy the entire book.
Pre-shrunk art works by the girls
How awesome is this Olivia picture? This was done by the 10 year old boy.
Extreme concentration.
And a post-shrunk Maisy.
You can punch holes in the plastic before you shrink it so you can wear it as a pendant. Very cool stuff! Have any of you had a play with this stuff?
