Children ages 6–12 will draw, color and cut designs on special plastic sheets, then see how heating changes their size and texture at this Dallas library craft.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The craft starts with a child’s drawing on plastic and ends with a smaller, rigid ornament: heating shrinks the design to about one-third of its original size and makes it thicker and hard.
Children create their own designs, drawing, coloring and cutting them from special plastic sheets before the heating step. The change in scale is built into the activity: the image they make becomes the ornament, rather than a decoration they begin with already assembled.
The event description says the hosts will put the cut designs in an oven. It does not identify the individual who will operate it, so families who want to clarify that step can call the branch.
