Baker Ross AT609 Bug Super Shrink Keyring Kits - Pack of 8, Make Your Own Key Rings for Kids to Colour In, Make and Display, White, 19 x 12 x 1 cm; 80 Grams

My girls loved colouring in these bugs and we were all fascinated watching them shrink in the oven! Great quality fun little key rings!!

These went down very well, shrunk before our eyes and have made great keyrings. Point off as they split a little when cutting out so might not be a part that younger children can manage without ending up with jaggy bits but otherwise highly recommend.

These were great fun. All worked as they should.

First time using shrink plastic, great first experience! Very beginner-friendly e.g. instructions & reminder to colour on rough side. Product shrinks to 1/3 of the size of the original sheet. I put in the oven at 150C (too hot and it’ll shrink too fast) so it can slowly shrink. When it stops shrinking and flattens in the oven, I quickly take it out and place a clear baking tray on top to flatten straight whilst hot as it cools flat.

Makes ok keyrings. Not bad for the price. Bought to keep busy during lockdown.

Great fun for my 4 year old daughter! She was amazed at how they shrunk in the oven (as was I) only think I would say is that I had to use acrylic pens because anything else just rubbed off. I also covered them in ModgePodge afterwards too to seal them 👌

We had a shrinkie dink afternoon. It fascinates the kids the way they curl up in the oven, shrink and then flatten out. I remember doing this with my sons when they were little and are now in their late forties. It hasn't changed at all. No big science, just good old fun. They look brilliant too once finished.

Bought as simple craft for toddler. Easy to colour on the plastic sheet - allow to dry/cool setting hair dry. Cutting out the shape is probably possible with a scalpel and cutting board (didn’t try this). Cutting with scissors leads to tears and razor sharp edges and requires very sharp scissors. Toddler loved to see the picture shrink. Did two in the oven at the same time one barely shrank the other shrank as expected. The result is a very hard, brittle, lumpy piece of plastic that could only be binned. Not very environmentally friendly. That said it passed the time/bonding, fun activity, toddler loved the ‘magic’.
