As a child of the 80s, I have an inherent love of Shrinky Dinks and I usually have a sheet or two of shrift plastic on hand just in case the mood strikes.  So I have been very glad the past few years to see that this craft is making a comeback in popularity – presumably because they are so quick and easy to use and the results are very, very cool.  And with Father’s Day nearly upon us (two days away!), Breanna at Dollar Store Mom came up with a great last-minute gift idea for dad.  She and her daughter whipped up this cute kid art keychain, something useful that will make dad smile every time he pulls his keys out of his pocket.  It’s memento he is sure to appreciate for years to come!  [how to make a kid art keychain]
