Ooly Garden Pals DIY Shrinking Art Kit – 28 Pre-Cut Charm Pieces for Kids

The Ooly Garden Pals DIY Shrinking Art Kit gives kids a quick, no-mess craft experience with 20 pre-cut shrink plastic charms. Designed for ages 3 and up, this set includes ball chains and cords so children can turn their colored creations into keychains, backpack charms, or zipper pulls. The charms feature friendly animals and flowers like bunnies, bees, and blossoms in a Garden Pals theme.

What Comes in the Kit?

• 20 pre-cut shrink plastic charms (no scissors needed)
• 5 ball chains in red, yellow, green, blue, and purple
• 3 packs of cord in blue, yellow, and red

How Do You Use the Shrink Art Charms?

Color the pre-cut designs with markers or colored pencils (not included). Place them on a baking sheet and heat in a standard oven for 1–3 minutes. Watch them shrink and thicken into durable, mini versions. Once cool, thread a ball chain or cord through the hole.

What Can You Make with the Charms?

The finished charms work as keychain dangles, backpack clips, zipper pulls, or friendship trading items. Because the kit includes multiple chains and cords, kids can make several pieces to share at school or keep for themselves.

Are the Charms Really Pre-Cut?

Yes. Every charm shape is punched out so children skip the cutting step entirely. That means no paper shreds to clean up and no frustration with scissors.
