Creatistics Christmas Shrink Film Ornaments- Pack of 12

Create magical, festive keepsakes with the Creatistics Christmas Shrink Film Ornaments - a hands-on and engaging craft activity for classrooms and home alike. These ornaments are designed to shrink to approximately 60% of their original size when baked in an oven, transforming your coloured creations into durable and delightful miniature baubles. Each A4 sheet features 4 pre-printed bauble designs with a total of 8 unique Christmas designs across the set, including 2 sheets of each design, resulting in 48 individual baubles. The matt/sanded side is specially prepared for use with coloured pencils or permanent markers, ensuring children can colour detailed designs with ease and precision.

These ornaments offer a wonderful opportunity for children to explore seasonal creativity, while reinforcing fine motor skills and following step-by-step procedures. Once baked, the baubles can be used to decorate the classroom, Christmas trees, or gifted as personalised holiday treasures.
