Shrinky Dinks were invented in 1973 by two housewives Betty Morris and Kate Bloomberg of Brookfield, Wisconsin as a Cub Scout project with their sons. Shrinky Dinks are also known as “Shrinkles.” They are a kit consisting of sheets of polystyrene which can be cut into shapes with household scissors. When they are heated, the cut shapes become about nine times thicker than their original size. Hats off to Betty and Kate from many years ago for one of my Christmas gifts this year from the Dahl family. I now have key chains of me and the boys. Priceless. Truly priceless.
