You can usually find shrink paper at most craft supply stores. They might know it by the brand name Shrinky Dinks. You can also order online at these websites:

http://www.shrinkydinks.com/
http://www.paper-paper.com/shrink.html

Note that shrink paper isn't actually paper at all, but a type of plastic. It can be used to make all kinds of neato things!

Enjoy!
