Using the squishy maker has been a great way for my daughter to follow a procedure while doing something fun. We did have one clip that popped open, however we caught it straight away and managed to reseal it before anything leaked. It is quite easy for adults though, but my 5yr old definitely wouldn't have the patience or dexterity needed to make one.So yes, I'm the mum who embraces the squishies, so of course we had to give the Squishy Maker a go at home. Practice inflating and making a squishy with just the empty balloon first so you get confident pumping them up and clipping them correctly. It's recommended for children over 8 years old and they will need some adult assistance and supervision, but once you get the hang of it it's really easy to use. I definitely think it's a worthwhile investment for an older child who has the patience to follow instructions and knows not to be too rough.

This kit contains everything needed to make 6 squishies, including the maker station, a spoon, slime powder, 2 latex balloons, 4 clear balloons, confetti, reusable clips, sparkles and curling ribbon. The problem with that squishy was we put the clip on too far down, it should've been closer to the edge of the balloon neck. My 9yr old has always been a big sensory seeker from a young age, so as soon as I heard about the Dr Squish Squishy Maker I knew it'd be perfect for her.

Choose your own bold fillings and decorations to make your own unique creations that are sure to be satisfying to touch and squeeze! Once we changed that we've had no other problems and have played with squishies for over 2 weeks and they're still fine. It is a bit amateur because it was mainly filmed by my 9yr old, however you can see just how easy the process is. As much as I'm scared of them popping and creating mess, I can also see the many developmental benefits they have like improving her fine motor skills, helping her self regulate her emotions and giving her tactile sensory input. Let their creativity free with the included confetti and glitter to make every squishy a unique creation.
