The Shrink Film Activity Kit provides a hands-on, creative experience where children can design, decorate, and transform their artwork into personalised keepsakes. Featuring 12 A4 clear shrink film sheets, 12 coloured pencils, and a pair of scissors, this kit includes everything needed to make custom jewellery, key tags, magnets, and more. Each sheet features a sanded, matt side for easy colouring with pencils or permanent markers, and a clear side for a glossy, transparent finish once baked. When placed in a pre-heated oven, the shrink film reduces to 60% of its original size, allowing students to witness a visual transformation that reinforces concepts of heat and material change. Perfect for art, science, or design lessons, this kit fosters creativity, fine motor development, and critical thinking, making it ideal for classrooms, group craft sessions, or themed projects. Adult supervision is required during baking for safe and effective results.

Educational Benefits

  • Stimulates Creativity – Children create original art and turn it into tangible keepsakes.
  • Develops Fine Motor Skills – Drawing, cutting, and designing strengthen coordination and control.
  • Encourages Scientific Thinking – Demonstrates material transformation when exposed to heat.
  • Promotes Thematic Learning – Supports seasonal, cultural, or subject-based design tasks.
  • Builds Confidence – Students take pride in creating functional, wearable art or gifts.

Classroom Ideas

  • Jewellery & Keychain Projects – Create wearable pieces like name tags, necklaces, or charms.
  • Reward & Recognition Badges – Design classroom awards with messages and illustrations.
  • Personalised Gift Making – Ideal for occasions like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or end-of-year celebrations.
  • STEAM Integration – Use the shrinking process to explain changes in states of matter and polymer properties.
  • Thematic Design Challenge – Assign topics like animals, holidays, or hobbies for custom shrink film creations.
  • Instructions
    • Draw a design on the matt side using coloured pencils or permanent markers.
    • Cut out the design and punch a hole if needed (for jewellery or tags).
    • Preheat oven to 150°C.
    • Place the design matt side up on a lined tray and bake.
    • The design will begin to shrink after 10 seconds and flatten again—remove once flat.
    • If needed, lightly press with a spatula or cardboard while warm to ensure a flat finish.
  • Tips Include
    • Use light colours—designs darken when baked.
    • Punch holes before baking for keychains or jewellery.
    • While warm, gently bend to form rings or bracelets.
    • Avoid using watercolours or crayons.
    • Colouring and cutting recommended for children aged 5+.
    • A responsible adult must handle all oven use.
