sometimes I call my crafting playing, I have seen some big girl things made with the shrink plastic that is so nice, I helped my 5 year old gs make a volcano and couldnt wait to see it blow! I dont know who was more excited, does that count? I say what ever works for you.
Happy Crafting

ps would love to see some photos of your stained glass.

I've heard it said that we are never too old to enjoy our childhood. Have fun! Carol

You can make nice ID's for your pets using Shrink-its!!

I still have younger kids so we do a lot of kids crafts. Our other biggie is science experiments. I have to admit that the kids look forward to that part a little more than I do. On the bright side, at least you don't have to hide your materials.

I love shrinky dinks! I make water bottle/soda can tags out of them.
Before shrinking, punch out a hole using paper puncher. When done add a swivel type fishing connector (jump ring at one end and clasp thing at the other) to a hair band.

I've never used them - they seem fascinating .... LOL
I think my first project is going to be plant pokes . Cute bugs ... butterflies ... maybe even fairies ! I'm definatley making pet tags too ... "silent" ones !!

I teach preschool so I play with kid's craft stuff all the time :)

I like using the compressed foam sheets...like felt only stiffer...never did shrinky dinks. deb
