Very cool and a great article. I don’t remember doing this in England when I was growing up. Looks like something my girls would enjoy doing.

@Andrea -
Hi Andrea,

I don’t know what would happen with #5 plastic. It looks the same but is actually a slightly different type of plastic. I have read that you can make Shrinky Dinks from those styrofoam trays that meat comes on. Can you get those in Germany? Good luck, and let me know how it turns out!

I wanted to know if you can use number 5 containers? We live in Germany and I can only find number 5 or 1. The grocery stores in my area don’t have salad bars. I don’t want to use number 5 if something bad will happen!

Thanks,
Andrea

Hi there. Afraid I am sick (summer cold, misery) and Wingnut is here and I am braindead. Can I cheat and ask you for sticky ideas for us to do on Sunday? It’s going to be raining heavily with thunderstorms all day. So it’s a perfect project day. If I can get on my feet.

Thank you.

I am really impressed. They look great. I've noticed those stamps on plastic containers beofre but never knew the significance. I assume they are indicators of other factors too not just their shrinkability :-) Off to check the ones we have lying around. Claires last blog post..Promises of things to come

I was opening up a container of strawberries for lunch when I remembered your post. What a great idea of something to do with 2 sick home-bound kids. Unfortunately, my strawberry container is #1 plastic – not #6. I am going to look around and see if I have any #6. Thanks for the idea.
