Shrink Film Activity Kit offers a hands-on creative experience where children can design, decorate, and transform their artwork into personalised keepsakes. This engaging kit includes 12 A4 clear shrink film sheets, 12 coloured pencils, and 1 pair of scissors, providing everything needed to create 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 that produces 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 observe a visual transformation that supports understanding of heat and material change. Ideal for art, science, and design lessons, this kit promotes creativity, fine motor development, and critical thinking. Adult supervision is required during baking to ensure safe and effective results.
