Elmer’s Squishies Two Character Kit Only $9 on Amazon (Reg. $17)

If your kids like crafts, slime, surprise toys, or collect squishies, this Elmer’s Activity Kit is sure to be a hit (and NOT a dud like some craft kits can be). I regret DIY slime kits every time because they always make such a mess and take way more steps than the instructions make it seem to get the right consistency.

Trust me when I say this squishy kit is nothing like that! There’s no measuring, no ‘testing’ for consistency, you just pour, wait, and done! I love that there are two of everything, down to the stir sticks and plastic cups, so two kids can make this activity at once. I was worried the end result, the squishies, would be too squishy or gooey, or we might have to wait longer than the suggested hour to let them dry. But, everything worked out perfectly! The squishies were not too tacky, they slid right out of the molds with ease, and were ready to play with!

IMO this is a reasonably priced, super unique, and easy-to-do craft and the end result is something you can keep, not just throw away or use once. Great summertime boredom activity with little mess and little guidance, a nice option for sleepovers since you get two in one box, the possibilities are endless!
