This classic toy was invented in 1973 by Betty Morris as an activity for scouts and became a very popoular toys. The toy has returned along with a new Shrinky Dinks maker. This activity allows your child to take their own drawings and designs, and transform them into small plastic keepsakes. The key is the shrinkable plastic and the shrinking process. This is great to use for making jewelry, presents and decorations. Previously children needed adult help making Shrinky Dinks in the kitchen oven. Now the new system allows your child to trace, color, cut and shrink in less than three minutes, and it is safe, enjoyable, and easy to use. Spinmaster, a Toronto-based company, has produced many innovative products including Air Hogs air pressure vehicles.
