I saw these online when looking for Christmas presents for my 6 yo son. I remembered them from when I was a kid and they are just as much fun now as they were back then! We spent quality time together coloring them and watching them shrink in our toaster oven…only takes a minute or so. The holes that are already in them make them easy to create keychain decorations or “bracelets” with the pipe cleaners (included). Also, the addition of tiny magnets in with the kit are great for ‘fridge decor. Will buy another set in a different design for his birthday!

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter from my mother. She was in need of refills and this was perfect! Lots of different designs to choose from for any child.

These are just plain fun. The box comes with a ton of pieces to color and a set of pencils for coloring. There is no right or wrong way to color them, it is entirely up to the child (or adult if you can convince your kids to give you any
Once they are colored, you just pop them in an oven and watch carefully. We use our toaster oven so we can keep a close eye on them through the window. The instructions clearly state to wait until they curl up and then lay flat again.
Take them out and viola – a fun little piece of art.
I think they are a doubly fun craft kit because kids get to color and design and then they get to see a little oven magic.
The pieces hold up but there are so many that if you break one or lose one, there are no tears.
A great way to pass the time on a rainy afternoon or cold winter day and fun for many ages (if I could only get my kids to share with me…) Maybe I’ll have to buy my own box.
