The Creatistics Clear Shrink Film is an exciting and interactive crafting material that allows children to explore the fascinating transformation of shrinkable plastic. Supplied as A4 sheets, each clear shrink film sheet shrinks to approximately 60% of its original size when baked in an oven. With one sanded/matt side, these sheets are ideal for drawing and colouring using coloured pencils or permanent markers, giving children a chance to design unique, vibrant pieces. This fun process makes the shrink film perfect for a range of creative projects such as key tags, jewellery, magnets, ornaments, and more.
The activity supports hands-on learning through crafting and can easily be integrated into classroom activities with minimal materials and preparation. The transformation of the plastic when heated captivates students, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and a deeper understanding of how materials behave under different conditions. Clear step-by-step instructions and tips are included for successful baking and safe handling of the shrink film pieces.
