It's the practical set they made for this and the included near effects at the time.
Agreed, not only the blending is very well done (for a TV show with limited budget), but the practical effects give it a more natural look than just green screen CGI. Episode's script wasn't bad either, some fun dialogues ("
Not a mouse... a rat!"), also loved that they bring a cage for her for the next day. I have to say the fact that Dina's shrinking is treated semi-seriously also helps, there's some elements of fear and the danger that she'll stay shrunk forever. Refreshing to see instead of it being used purely for comedy.
