You want to provide them with a moment of pure joy, a healthy outlet to their boundless energy, and a peaceful relief from growing up anxieties. The Taba Squishy Making Kit is the perfect gift as it offers an emotional journey of creative joy and connection—it's not just a toy!

3. Why a DIY Kit Is the Most Thoughtful Gift of 2026

In a world of instant gratification and passive entertainment, a gift that requires participation and creativity holds special power. The value of a Taba Squishy Making Kit isn't just in the final product they hold in their hand. It's woven into the entire process of making it. It's a gift that gives back in ways a pre-made toy never could.

It's a Gift of Shared Time & Connection

This kit is a great reason to stop your phones, and get around the table. It's a cooperative project, where it's easy to talk.

Mix the "just right" shade of blue together. Carefully pour the liquid into the mold. Wait expectantly together. It's the little moments of quiet that can form the most powerful connections.

It's an opportunity to share, laugh and make a memory for a parent and child, as well as with friends. Squishy, a memento of the time together, a tangible reminder of a fun afternoon.

It's a Bridge to "Soft Power" and Stress Relief

The philosophy behind TABASQUISHY® started with a simple, profound moment: a child kneading dough who said, "It eats away unhappiness." This kit emulates that very moment.

It is a calming process to carefully measure and mix the smooth silicone, which is tactile in nature. It's a mindful activity, the gentle stirring, the focus needed to pour it into the mold, quieting a busy mind.

Next is the final reward. When the final squishy is packaged that looks like a tangible outlet for stress and anxiety.After all, when the finished squishy is packaged that looks like a tangible outlet for stress and anxiety. The slow, satisfying bounce is like a slow, deep inhale. This is what we know as "Soft Power.

A small, soft, object that gives way and slowly recovers, is a powerful and quiet self regulation in a world that can feel overwhelming. This is a nonverbal instrument of expressing feelings.

It's a Celebration of Their Own Creativity

It's so immensely great to create something by yourself. The Taba Squishy Kit is not just a product for the child to consume, it's a product the child is making. They do art, design and make.

They make the colours their own. Make decisions on the impacts. Make their vision a reality. When they finally de-mold their creation, it's not just another toy on the shelf. It's a trophy.

It's a sign of their talent, their patience and their own creative vision. This is one of the most enduring and valuable parts of the gift, the gift of confidence. The resulting squishy is now their very own masterpiece, a one-of-a-kind object they can proudly boast, "I made this.

4. Not All Squishies Are Equal: The TABASQUISHY® Safety & Quality Promise

Safety is a must when selecting a gift for a child, particularly a sensory toy that will be handled over and over again.

It's 100% non-toxic, 100% non-odorous, and BPA FREE. Use it with your child's hands if it's safe enough to be near food, you can feel totally safe.

This is a commitment to safety that is verified. We are CPC Certified (Children's Product Certificate) which gives you the confidence that our products are safe. It's a very "artisanal" thing that we work with as a part of our brand. You can learn more about why TABASQUISHY™ is a fun & safe choice for everyone in our detailed safety guide.

It is also packaged with all the tools you need, including pre-measured silicone for Part A and Part B, a high-quality, reusable mold, colour pigments and all the mixing tools. You can attempt to purchase materials on your own, but our kits guarantee an ideal result and are tested for safety. For a step-by-step visual guide, you can see exactly how to make a taba squishy at home on our blog.

2. Are taba squishies safe for kids? 

Absolutely. This is our highest priority. TABASQUISHY® brand kits are made with 100% food-grade, non-toxic, BPA-free silicone. Unlike many other craft toys, our materials have no harsh chemical smells. They are CPC certified, one of the safer sensory craft toys. Though we do recommend adult supervision of children under 12 when making, it is a great activity to do together.

3. Is the Taba Squishy Kit messy? 

So surprising clean and contained! The silicone used in food is thick, tractable liquid, not runny or sticky as "slime". All mixing and pouring takes place in the cups and the mould. Paper towels or a craft mat are always suggested to lay out in case of spills, but the idea is for the activity to be a low mess, high fun activity.

4. How long does it take to make a squishy? 

Mixing silicone and colors, and pouring them into the mold is a 10-15 minute fun, focused activity. The squishy then has to "cure" (set) in the mold. This usually occurs in 2-3 hours at room temperature. It's exciting to wait until the end to de-mold the final product!

5. What age is the Taba Squishy Making Kit best for? 

This taba squishy kit is a great gift for a variety of ages, normally 8 years old and older. It's a great family activity for kids between 8 – 12 years old with a little help from the grown ups! The calming, creative process is a favourite amongst teenagers and adults, and the finished product is so well done and professional-looking. This is a fairly advanced craft which is accessible to anyone who has a creative flair.
