 Cute - but useless end result.Feb 01, 2013
By C. Frederick
"bigswell"
We greatly enjoyed the cute designs of the mermaids and their friends, the size of the unshrunk pieces, and the process of coloring and shrinking them. The colored pencils are great quality! Did this with a four year old. We completed the project in an hour or two.
What is not so great about this set is the end result. There are no pre-punched holes in the mermaids; instead they come with tiny cardboard stands that fit into a slot formed in each little piece. You're supposed to stand them up like tiny board game pieces when you're finished. The stand pieces are flimsy, don't fit well into all the slots, not all the pieces are balanced to stand up where the slot is located, and it's not much fun to play with once you've set them up, as they keep falling over. Would have preferred simply to have a hole pre-punched, to make jewelry or a tiny mobile or suncatchers out of the mermaids instead. At the very least, the stand pieces should also have been made of shrinkydink material so you could glue them solidly together. Meh.

fun and useful in teachingJan 17, 2010
By Frederick W. Nesbitt
"fwnesbitt"
these are a great toy for your 5-12 year old children. they really make a great effort to color them perfectly and are thrilled to see them after they have shrunk to such small toys! CAUTION - these have to be warmed in the oven - NOT a toy for the kids to do by themselves!

 didn't shrink like the old daysApr 29, 2013

These were difficult to get to shrink and lay flat - I'd only do a few at a time so you can learn how to do it. Also, the large ones and the small ones need different amounts of time, so don't try to shrink them all together.
kids had a great time.Apr 22, 2013

Just like I remember from my childhood! The shrinky dinks were a great craft for my 6 & 10 year olds.
