Not a squishy just a mess
We followed instructions to a “T” the “squishy” never set and had to put it in the freezer. After 5-10mins it was still very slimy. We opened the case and it would not come out. We had to pull it out in pieces. Will not buy again.

Hello, We’re sorry to hear that the Elmer’s Squishies DIY Toy Activity Kit was difficult to work with and set up too quickly. We understand how frustrating that can be, especially during a creative activity. Here are a few tips that may help improve the experience: 1. Prepare all materials in advance before mixing, as the compound can begin setting quickly. 2. Work in small batches to allow more control over timing. 3. Mix thoroughly but efficiently to ensure even consistency. 4. Avoid delays once mixing starts, as this can affect the final result. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and will pass your comments along to our proper team for review. If there is anything else we can assist with, please reach out through the "Contact Us" form on our official website. Our team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time. Thank you, and please stay safe! Elmer’s Consumer Care

Not worth the price
This is not worth the money- only has enough material for one squishy animal and you don't get to pick which one.

Fun to make
Got these several times because my kids enjoy making them but after that they're a bit to boring to play with and not very squishy actually.

Fun and cool... HOWEVER, a couple pointers before buying!
My boys and husband had fun making these. However, it takes more than an hour to try. I tried to open up one of them after an hour, and the thing tore open. I put regular glue in it and shut the mold back up and will check tomorrow the results.🤞🏻🤞🏻The other ones in the box were dry after about a little over 2 hours. They WILL still be very sticky, even after they dry… so ladies, grab your loose powder foundation & rub it all over and they are NOT sticky anymore! 👍🏻👍🏻

it was ok at start..
my grandmother and I followed directions putting the ingrediants together and that fun. but trying to pour that into the mold openings it was too think to pour. We had to shove it down multiple times and it still didnt fill every part of the mold and monsters came out badly. we even put the whole thing out in the sun to dry and took them out and them dry more but they stayed slightly sticky and features wore off as we handled them. my grandma says they were way to expensive at $10 per monster!

Great way to make squishy!
I bought this for my 7 year old. The instructions were simple and mixing the ingredients was easy. My 7 year old was able to help without too much assistance. I give it 4 stars because our squishy had to dry overnight for it to be solid, despite following directions. Otherwise, it's a fun gift for kids! Even my 11 year old enjoyed it!

My kids love these
These are such a fun and quick little project for my 7 and 9 year old to work on. It comes with all the materials you need and in an hour they have a new squishy creation. Highly recommend.

Squishy is unusable, super sticky
Squishy was still super sticky even after hours of setting time. We followed the directions exactly as written.

Hello Bean, Thank you for your feedback—we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We understand from your message that the Elmer's Squishies DIY Toy Activity Kit resulted in a squishy that remained super sticky, even after following the instructions and waiting the recommended setting time. Sometimes, factors like humidity or temperature can affect how the squishy sets. Gently kneading the squishy or allowing additional curing time in a dry environment can sometimes help improve the texture. Your feedback is important to us and will be shared with our product team. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out via our official website, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website.
