Use the colored pencil on the rough side of the sheets, and use Sharpie or permanent marker on the smooth side.

Shrinky Dinks were soon licensed to be manufactured by the major toy companies of the time such as Milton Bradley, Colorforms, Western Publishing and Skyline Toys. While Polystyrene is used to make the items I just mentioned, the same type of plastic is used to make clear containers that are cheap, lightweight, and easily formed into shapes. You may want to add decorative edges to the plastic, cut out your design, or punch holes in it to make it into a necklace or charms for a bracelet. We'd color in the characters on the plastic sheets, cut them out and poke a hole at the top so we could hang them later. Shrink art, Shrinky Dinks, or Shrinkles is a toy and activity kit consisting of sheets of polystyrene which can be cut with standard household scissors.I found some at my local Dollar Tree, when I bought an aluminum pan to bake brownies in to bring to an event. I stink at freehand cutting, but if you are creative with that or have some large punches, you can cut out your own shapes as I did here. jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":259,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":410,"licensing":"

It seemed like they were everywhere when I was a kid, but over the years have become harder and harder to find. You may also want to take a toaster oven outside to avoid fumes inside, or preheat the grill and shrink them in there.Some Shrinky Dinks come pre-cut and with designs already outlined on them, and others will just be the plastic sheets. Shreddies always had the best gifts but tasted like cardboard so it was always a trade-off to get the best freebies! Nothing was more entertaining than coloring those rough plastic pages with the tiny little colored pencils and then watching them shrivel up into cute little charms.
Great Deal
