Default Shrinky Dinks

Do ya'll remember these things? I've casually looked around for them, but can't find them anywhere - do they still make them? I certainly hope so. My daughter is too young for them now, but I'm excited about having an excuse to get them in a few years, lol.

Oh wow, I haven't thought about these in years and years! I just had to look them up, my girls are the perfect age for these now. I found them for you:

I did not even have a clue about these until I looked them up, very odd the random things I find on the net. Here I thought it was something crazy that was new or something.

I had fogotten all about these but don't forget my other favorite the little capsules that you drop in the water and they grow into sponges. Those are awesome too and can probably be used for kids that are a little younger!

Shrinky Dinks huh? I honestly completely forget about them until I read this thread!

I had a heck of a lot of fun with those things as a kid, and wasn't really sure if they were still being made or not, since I never seem to see them anywhere.

I hadn't ever heard of these either until seeing them here. I love using the sponges that you drop into water though where they are capsules first. Kids get the best toys!

I thought they still made these or can you only special order them? I need to surprise a friend with a 30th birthday coming up and I am sure she will crack a smile when she sees it.

I've seen these at Wal-Mart. I just saw some the last time I was in the store. Have you looked there? I know you can find them on the internet too.

I remember playing with these when I was younger.
