Shrinky Dinks Fairy World Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Soooooo cool. Just the same as the ones in '81-'84 (ouch).
Comes with:
-fiber optic fairy wand w/whistle on one end (goin' back to the 70's- even more ouch)
-five Shrinky Dink sheets
-hole puncher in order to make jewelry if desired
-eight colored pencils
-small jewelry hoops for attachment purposes
-small felt purse worn as necklace
-long felt bracelets
-two modern-day barrettes
-tiny pastel-colored bells for adornment
-downy-white glitter
-one lobster clasp
-bracelet fasteners
-foam stickers only for utilitarian reasons
Notes: I am not sure if you can use your own colored pencils for more color variety; check out the website or call co. if this is a pressing question for you (I will try to remember to do so in order to update this review). You can use a toaster oven. I am not so sure that the whistle works too great (will update that info, too). Do not panic when "cooking" the Dinks- just let them do their shriveling ritual, and you will see them straighten out right before your eyes. I did mess one up due to panic, sigh. The involved crafts are easy to do- my daughter and I completed the purse craft, and I am a total chimp with stuff like that. I do feel that the involved crafts are delicate, so keep away from nosy toddlers/preK'ers. You can get Shrinky Dinks from Target as well.
Items to have on hand before purchase:
-baby powder (pure cornstarch with scent, aloe, and all that jazz O.K.) to prevent sticking
-aluminum foil to line cookie sheet
-a non-air insulated cookie sheet
-craft glue to further reinforce jewelry hoops (optional)
Addenda on 2/9/11: Finally found our fairy wand...the whistle does not work that great, but no biggie. It does flash different colored lights; first slowly, then quickly, so be careful if a family member has photosensitive epilepsy. The wand takes three 1.5V button batteries; they are included. I checked out the company's website in order to see if you can use "outside" colored pencils, and they do not suggest it because they cannot "ensure their functionality or safety".
