OOLY x Girl Scouts: Do-It-Yourself Shrink Art

The shrink art sheets were easy for my kids to trace and color, and watching their designs curl up in the oven then flatten into tiny keepsakes honestly felt like magic. We’ve already made keychains and a little charm for a backpack—definitely a fun way to spend an afternoon.

My seven-year-old spent an entire rainy afternoon designing tiny charms and then watching them shrink in the oven—the sheer delight on her face when her drawings turned into solid keepsakes was priceless. The kit is wonderfully self-contained, and I love that it blends art with a simple science less

The oven did most of the work, but my daughter was over the moon watching her drawings shrink into tiny, sturdy keepsakes. It's a simple project that feels like magic, and she's already asking when we can do another set.
