Great holiday project! November 6, 2009
RaySal (Coconut Creek, FL United States)
My nine year old and I just finished this project. We decided to complete it in two days. The first day we colored and cut the templates and glued the dowel to the base. The second day we baked and decorated. It's amazing how small the pieces get. I followed the extra directions in that we pre-heated the pan with the oven. We sprinkled a small amount of baby powder on the foil to keep pieces from sticking. We had no problem with curling or the pieces sticking to themselves. The end result is a beautiful, sparkly, little tree with brightly colored durable ornaments. We're going to keep it in my son's room. This would be a great project for winter vacation. We loved it.

Although I gave this item as a gift, it is very enjoyable for the kids as they can do it with mom/dad and have fun with it as well. This item was not found in local stores so having a different variety to make was very fun too.

I bought this for a holiday project night with my 5 Grandkids ranging in age from 2 to 11. Everyone shared the pencils and had fun coloring the SD's and then peeking thru the oven window watching them shrink. The older ones helped the younger children cutting them out. Very nice concept with enough SD's for all and little bead** ornaments. (**these are small enough to be a choke hazard)

The only knock I would give this is the tree -- it is only flimsy pipe cleaners. Little hands need a sturdier tree. As written earlier I would also recommend a 10"-12" artificial tree from somewhere else.

I've bought and used this product as well as many sets of shrinky dink plastic. This one is nice as there are pictures preprinted on the plastic; they're ready to color (as opposed to having to tediously trace your own image). The kit contains materials to make a little "tree"; it's nothing more than silver pipe cleaners twisted around a central dowel. You might be better off with a very small fake tree from the craft store, but the finished ornaments (1/2"-1") are scaled perfectly for the little tree you can build.

Unlike another reviewer, I did not have problems with shrinking the plastic from this kit or any other of the kits I've owned, even after forgetting a trayfull of shrinkydinks and leaving them in the oven way too long. My only shrinky dink caveats are to use the plainest, thinest, cheapest pan you've got. Those fancy stoneware pans might cook great brownies but they take forever to heat up so aren't such a good S-D choice. And I've found that it's best to let the S-Ds cool on their pan a bit before taking them out. They're just a smidge flexible straight from the oven but cool and harden quickly so if you pull it off your pan right away you'll warp it and then it will harden like that.

One of the biggest disappointments of my life-- November 28, 2008

These are not the Shrinky-Dinks we grew up with. I cannot describe my frustration with this product. My daughter and I spent over two hours getting the decorations colored, and I was so happy to share one of my fondest childhood memories with her. My elation turned to horror as we waited for them to bake and watched them go beyond shrinking and actually curl back into themselves. There was no way to flatten them--we tried--so our two hour preparation was for naught. So, I would recommend buying these only if you want to relive your childhood as one big stomach cramp.
