I appreciated Jamie stating that one could use scissors to cut out shapes. Not everyone has access to a Cricut or computers, An Exacto knife could also be used. Using food coloring to color the Yeti or any other shape is fun. Kids could make these shapes to decorate their own birthday party table.

I have never been able to get Borax crystals work before. I'll have to try this using a paper cutout. How fun!
