DIY Squishy Making Kit for Kids

Would get this again for a birthday or a weekend activity when we need something new.

School holiday lifesaver. It kept the kids busy and they were proud of the results.

My daughter loved squeezing the finished one and saying she “made a real toy”.

More fun than I expected as a parent too. I actually enjoyed helping with it.

The colour mixes were smoother than I expected and didn’t look dull when finished.

Cute gift idea for kids who like making things with their hands.

We ended up doing it as a family after dinner and everyone got weirdly into it.

Good fun, but younger kids will definitely need help so it doesn’t get chaotic.

They actually took their time with this instead of rushing, which was nice to see.

This will be staying on my list for school holidays because it actually fills a decent chunk of time.

The bunny came out the neatest for us and has been sitting on the bookshelf since.

Creative activity plus a squishy toy at the end. Pretty much perfect for my daughter.

My daughter loved the glow effect and kept testing it in different rooms of the house.

The whole process was fun, from mixing to choosing colours to checking the final result.

I expected worse mess honestly. We washed hands, wiped the table and it was fine.

Definitely use a table cover or newspaper, especially if your kids get excited with glitter.

The finished squishies are genuinely cute and have been played with after, not just forgotten.

If your child likes craft kits, mixing and little projects, they’ll probably love this.

Nice change from beads and painting. Still crafty, but different enough to feel exciting.

My kids felt very clever making their own squishies instead of just buying them.

Pouring into the moulds needs a careful hand, so I helped with that bit.

The decorating and choosing powders was my daughter’s favourite part.

Grandma did this with my daughter and they both had a great time making the bunny one.

Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly the kind of thing we needed.

Ours weren’t perfect, but they were cute and the kids didn’t care at all.

The glitter one looked the best in the end. My daughter called it her sparkle squishy.

This isn’t a five minute kit, which I actually liked. It felt like a proper activity.

Good hands on fun for kids who like making things and getting a bit involved.

Instructions were clear enough for me to follow without feeling like I needed a YouTube tutorial.

My two kids could each choose a mould and colour, so there wasn’t much arguing for once.

Kept screens off for the whole afternoon, so that alone made it a win for me.

The capybara one caused the most excitement here. Apparently capybaras are everything right now.

My son treated it like a science experiment and kept checking what happened when we added more colour.

We used it at the craft table with a tray underneath and clean-up wasn’t bad at all.
