So many of your have asked me to try out Elmer's Squishy Maker and this was impossible to get because they don't ship overseas. Luckily, a friend brought me a box from the USA so I was able to make this video! This is a pretty unique product which lets you make all kinds of squishies. It's a lot more generous with the squishy resin than many other kits so you can use these with your own molds. The chemistry works very well and you can customise it using glue, paint, pigments, ink, glitter etc. The fact that it's not affected by water means you have a lot of room for experimentation.

EDIT: There have been some good points raised in the comments regarding my comment about the characters not being appealing enough to girls. To clarify, that was in support of gender inclusion and more of a critique at the performative gender-neutrality of a product that loses sight of who the actual target market is. This kit really went into extremes to avoid using pink or anything that might be deemed too girly so it doesn't alienate boys or the parents of boys. That in itself feels fairly outdated. There are plenty of gender-neutral character designs that include pastel or cute elements (Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Octonauts etc).
Designs can exist as "girly" without meaning to exclude anyone who is non-binary. An example would be boys who love unicorns or makeup. They are not going to look for the blue/black/masculine unicorns but simply the typical rainbow, glitter unicorns that are already out there on the market. These types of craft kits are always predominantly for a female identifying audience so it doesn't make sense why they tried so hard to lean the other way.
I think the gender-neutral packaging for Elmer's slime kits are fantastic but this is a far more complex product. These kits basically combine a novelty DIY process with mystery blind boxes, a "collect them all" concept, plus tons of characters with unique names and origins. It has too many nuances to just apply the same branding that works for slime.

Aren’t they legally required to to tell you the ingredients in these things? What if you have a allergy or something

[@stickibug]

I'm far from an expert, but from what I gather, ingredients are only required on food, and strong chemicals like insecticides, herbicides, and cleaners. There are lots of things that say "latex free" on them since latex allergies are very common, but that's as much info as I've ever found on craft kits like this. It's really strange to me because there could be *anything* in these! 🥴

[@ThatDaniGirl]

There were some "mystery" flavours of chocolate that Cadbury brought out. I too wondered about the ingredients (didn't stop me trying it, despite my peanut allergy haha 😅)

[@maqaroon]

I also assumed they need to write the ingredients (eg for poison control) but surprisingly it's almost never included. Especially since they make money by selling a "magic" product or refills, most companies are reluctant to write what it is since you can probably get the same thing much cheaper elsewhere.

[@Kaleiope]

@@maqaroon the safety data sheet for the secret solution lists the main ingredient as some kind of silicone. Between 50 and 75 percent. Hexamethyldisilazane less than 5 percent, whatever that is. "There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the concentrations applicable, are classified and hence require reporting in this section"

[@maqaroon]

@@Kaleiope Aah interesting! I didn't spot that part

[@SportsDude18]

They actually have a whole section on their website that tells every characters personality. It’s pretty well thought out, and I applaud them for that.

[@maqaroon]

Oh that's a nice detail! I didn't know that. But sadly the percentage of people going from a physical product to their website is extremely low and it's unlikely to reach many users.

[@SportsDude18]

@@maqaroon that is true. I just think that it’s an easy way to make your own squishies, it’s super affordable, and extremely fun. I painted faces on mine so they didn’t look like a blob lol

I’ve been watching you for years, I started watching your channel in 3rd grade and now that I’m a first year in high school I just wanna thank you for the hard work in your videos. I come to your channel when I am in need of comfort and I cannot tell you how much times I’ve been up at 4am having struggling with life but eventually falling asleep while watching your videos because they bring me so much comfort. I really appreciate you! thank you! sending love to you and your family 🫂🤍

[@wakaran2414]

Gonna be honest they have more expression than those simple seals and bears that people love so much and that you also made. The fox looks grumpy or mischievous, the hippo looked happy and like he was waving, the narwhal also looked happy. I have a cat squish from a brand and it has the cutest face, but the ones you made in your video as the base, which are also the popular ones and the ones everyone always makes in videos, they have no expression and are just blobs till you paint on them. These are actually part of the mould by the looks of it. I dunno how you can say they have no expression and don't look like they can appeal to girls or boys, but the ones you made and use as an example are easy sellers because they're simple, when you say you aren't happy with the lack of expression on the elmers ones. Do you want expressions on the characters or do you want simple shape blobs? I really can't tell what your expectations of this are.

[@stickibug]

I love the face you decided to paint on the octopus that didn't cure properly 😂 perfection

[@abigailmcilroy5304]

I Noticed you didn’t use it on your video but the slots in the stirrers in the elmer’s kits can be used to ensure you squeeze all the product out of the ‘secret packets’ i thought this was another good detail ☺️

[@maqaroon]

Yes I thought that was a very neat detail as well! I filmed it but unfortunately it was out of focus so I had to leave the clip out of the final video.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

I'd love to see a full Sumikko Gurashi mould video some time now that you've mentioned it! ^-^

[@PokeSophia]

same

[@bibbleb00]

I'd wager to say the reason the puni gel started to harden so fast was something to do with how the mixture oxidizes/acts when exposed to air, seeing as it tells you to mix it inside of the packet (airtight) which is most likely to give you more time with the liquid and prevent that 'milky' air bubble thing from happening if you mix it in open air. RIP to your fingers though, sucks that its not easier to mix that way lol 😭

[@linzeaya680]

I LOVE the character shapes. 😍😍😍 They remind me of Crazy Bones and are super nostalgic for me. Thank you for sharing this product. It makes me really happy.

[@firehawk2324]

I have a 6 year old girl who is desperate to get every single one of these. They might not appeal to SOME girls, but I think there's plenty of girls who will enjoy the characters.

[@maqaroon]

I agree, my daughter will also like these but I don't think they have the same appeal as Shopkins, NumNoms or many of the other blind boxed characters for the same target market.

[@malloryjordan6764]

EXPeriment idea! SEE HOW FAR U CAN STRETCH THE SOLUTION PACKS BY ADDING A LOT OF THE GLUE ! theoretically it would eventually get too diluted to cure, im curious to the actual limit!

[@maqaroon]

That's a good idea!! I still have the remaining packets left and need to think what to do with them 😁

[@Elisabeta88]

I'm sorry.. but I'm gonna have to say it, who the heck cares if this toy is gender neutral or not.. it's a toy. It's meant to be played with regardless of age or gender... I am a woman, who grew up with 4 brothers..and a way older sister..and I grew up playing with my brothers Legos and action figures( as my sister threw out her old toys long before I was even born) and I turned out just fine? I'm not sure why gender even needs to play a role in children's toys ... Let kids be kids and figure out what types of toys they like as they grow?

[@user-pl8rm8bn3j]

I agree

[@kai.epic_]

i think i will buy just the packs like u said because i HATE the molds it comes with >< amazing video!!

[@TheNeverEndingHowl]

I wonder how they will last over time? 🤔 Made with Elmer's glue I can imagine them getting hard or drying out

[@alyshahernandez4818]

Hi

[@tocklehop7449]

I completely agree that the Elmer’s molds are bland, but I don’t want them to be too girly either, or boy-ish. I think they are okay right now, despite being a little funny-looking (in my opinion) . That’s just how kids diy toys look. But yeah, the solution was actually kinda good quality. 😊

[@pearldiamond7120]

I love how detailed all your videos are!

[@demoonyo]

I still remember when you made that octopus mold XD You must really love making octopus squishies :D

[@alizagardin7712]

I struggle falling asleep at night but your soothing voice and calming videos help me so much! Not to mention, that they are GREAT! Thank you 😊

[@Frosting1000]

Can you do more squishy DIY/experiments w the Elmer’s glue kit? Like what happens if you put in white glue or clear glue like you said? What kind of pigments to use instead of just glitter glue (like pastel dust, ink, paint etc?)

[@estherstreet4582]

I'm slightly interested to see what happens if you *don't* add any glue at all. The fact that you're supposed to use exactly one tube of glitter glue made me wonder if the glue was an integral part of the formula, and if it sets differently without it.

[@pgakt]

It’s rather sexist to say those designs aren’t appealing to girls, I’m not sure what small girl wouldn’t enjoy random animal designs

[@ownsacat]

That's what I did. I bought just the refill elders squishy stuff. I had clear elders glitter glue and used that to color it. used my own mold. Turned out great.

[@LichPenguin]

You can use water bottle caps to hold small portions of the mixture and color separately so things like eyes, paws, tails, ears, nose ect can stand out with more character. 🤷‍♂️

[@kaikai1246]

I got one of these kits for my nirthday. I loved it because one of them was a dragon and had the same name as me! It made me really happy

These just came into my store i work at! I tried rhw smallee starter kit and worked well! Ur video helped me explain this to some of my coworkers and customers who were curious bout it. Thanks alot, i hope to see more fun uploads in the future (fyi the character sculpts r nice to squish but they need a better character designer)

[@merrlau]

i think the more glue you add into the mixture the softer it is, because i made a clear squishy without the glitter glue and it was hard.

[@PrazLeo]

This looks like way too much work

[@Keiththescribbler0619]

It's a craft kit 😅 it's supposed to be work. They sell premade Squishies for those who don't want to make them

[@lalabell666]

Thank you so much for the information! Good things to know for crafts and stuff!

[@TAiiNE]

Just going to say, this isn't a resin, it's a very soft silicone. Silicone also comes in part A and B mix's and there's many kinds that offer a nice squish, and most don't care about added water or such. Many use Smooth-on brand silicones, many offer a very nice squish.
