Helen has been working from home as well as enjoying spending time with her children. Quality family time comes in many forms of interaction and here we see how it was through making their own Shrinkie Dinkies. Their creativity not only provided quality family time, but they made lovely keyrings, charms or even just a small token to put a smile on someone’s face during these uncertain times. Let’s see how they were made….
Describe activity:
We used the plastic packaging from pastries. We then cut them out, selected what we would like to draw and using Sharpie pens drew pictures. Once ready, place of a sheet of cooking paper and placed in a preheated oven at around 160°C for a few minutes.
