The kids were complaining this morning that there was absolutely NOTHING to do. So, I pulled out some sheets of poly-shrink, which I had hidden away for the perfect moment. They balked at me, rolled their eyes, but I ignored it and preceded to sit down with some gel pens and prisma colored pencils, and I began to draw. Within just a few minutes they were drawing too.
The exciting part came when we put them in the oven. So exciting to see them move, curl, shrink and become flat again. It was extra exciting when one of then popped off the cardboard onto the bottom of the oven~OY! That meant me trying to scoop it up with knife before it completely melted to the bottom. It also meant me getting 4 little burns on my arm and knuckles. Ah, well.
They turned out great, but we forgot to put little holes in them. I think my little rotary tool will do the trick though. I made the mandala and the flower scene. The colored pencils work really great for this.
how fun! my kids like these too.
The mandala is so pretty.
These are great!
