Shrinky-dinks

Back before it was an insult bandied about in the changing room at the public pools, Shrinky-dinks were a do-it-yourself sheet of plastic that turned into a smaller, thicker piece of plastic when placed in the oven. The ones featured in this ad were even radioactive. Fun!

You can find them on Amazon, and in most noteworthy and reputable hobby shoppes!

Oh, heavens! they weren't fun. They were big and thin, then they got small and thick. What child shouldn't like that and the associated toxins that wafted off of fresh Shrinky-Dinks?
