It’ll be a blast to start making things with these! My 5 year old really enjoyed watching them bake and shrink! So now they're very tiny bookmarks.

As you can see from the photos, I botched the 'hole punch' part because I used kitchen knife. The photos are the before & after, and in both pictures the characters are lying on a standard-size greeting card envelope.
Note #1 - I bought the 'frosted' shrinky dinks, and I really wish that I had bought the 'crystal clear' ones. Alexa then elaborated, sharing that the character 'Plumpy' was unceremoniously removed from the game in 2002 due to the belief that he promoted an unhealthy lifestyle. To be exact: they get about one-third smaller. Note #3 - If you need a hole (say, for threading some fishing wire to make an ornament) then be sure to use an actual hole puncher and punch that hole BEFORE you bake/shrink these.
That's because I traced the outline of the characters, but I could only do it while holding everything up against a window on a very sunny day (otherwise, you can't see what you're trying to trace). Not one of us had remembered Plumpy from our childhoods but upon hearing this, several of the adults laughed so hard at the name that they fell out of their chairs. There used to be a character in the game 'Candyland' called 'Plumpy,' which my extended family learned during a Family Game night after my brother shared some trivia about The Chocolate Swamp not being the original name of that area of the Candyland board.
