Experiencing Shrink It by Peter Pauper Press Inc. has truly transported me back to my childhood. I fondly remember playing with a similar craft called Shrinky Dinks. I was thrilled to introduce the Super Shrink It to my daughter, hoping to create cherished memories together.

This delightful kit comes with 8 pre-printed Shrink It sheets featuring fun designs, 8 colored pencils, and a handy instruction booklet. It’s an engaging and straightforward craft that children of all ages can enjoy.

To begin, simply take the sheets out of the package, revealing a smooth side and a textured side. Choose a design to color, placing the rough side facing up. This side has a fabric-like texture that absorbs color beautifully. Once colored, an adult will need to carefully cut out the design, as this task can be challenging for little hands.

The sheets are made of a brittle plastic, making cutting a bit tricky. For designs with small hole outlines, using a hole punch is essential to create charms. I recommend this method over scissors to avoid damaging the edges. After cutting, place the designs on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, parchment paper, or tin foil. Preheat your oven to 325°C.

Once ready, put the cookie sheet in the oven and set a timer for 3 minutes. During this time, you’ll see the designs shrink and the edges curl. Don’t worry; they will flatten out as they bake. After 3 minutes, carefully remove the cookie sheet and let it cool for about 15 minutes. The final result will be designs that are approximately one-third of their original size.

The completion of these designs opens up a world of possibilities. We transformed some of our creations into earrings by simply attaching earring hooks to the pre-punched holes. These designs can also serve as charming accents on necklaces, embellishments for cell phone cases when glued on, delightful additions to birthday cards, or even stylish decorations for headbands.

Our experience with Super Shrink It has been incredibly enjoyable! It has turned into a nightly crafting ritual for us. The simplicity of Super Shrink It allows us to squeeze in a few designs even on hectic school nights, providing us with precious moments of creative bonding. My 8-year-old daughter can’t stop sharing her excitement about Super Shrink It with her friends!
