Shrinky Dinks

How many of you have made a shrinky dink in your life?

Remember, the things where you draw on special paper, cut it out, put it in the oven, then watch it magically shrink into a cute piece of colored-on plastic?

The thing that middle schoolers typically play with?

Matt and I decided to be middle schoolers last night and make shrinky dinks.  Matt had never made one (*gasp!*) so I showed him the wonder that is shrinky dinks.

We sharpened our colored pencils.


We colored super careful.



And cut oh-so slowly to make sure they would look awesome.


We put them on a cookie sheet...

...and slid them in the oven.

And waited.  Soon, they started to curl up.



And when they had flattened back out again, they were so cute and shrunken!!



It was so fun, Matt even made two.  Can you guess which two are his and which one is mine?  ;-)
