We tried something new this weekend and made Curious George charms with “magic shrinking paper” as my 3-year old called it, aka shrinky dinks!

Inspired by George’s red shirt, The Man With The Yellow Hat’s hat and George’s brown fur, this Curious George we made a red, yellow and brown bracelet and paired it with a cute picture of George wearing said hat!
