As mentioned above, the Paper Squishy are the most popular among my “YouTube Kids” as you are literally able to create any design that you wish. I have created a Santa Squishy Printable as well as a Panda Suiqshy Printable for those interested! So all you really need is a sheet of paper, markers and off you go. DIY Paper Squishies are great fun – and kids will love designing their own! Many bloggers and vloggers have had a go at making squishies from sponges (nice and cheap) as well as rising memory foam (a bit more expensive). These types of squishies require a little more dexterity as you essentially SCULPT your spong/ foam into shape. As for stuffing.. you can use old pillow stuffing, an old plastic bag or two or craft foam. We like recycling pillow stuffing best! But love the plastic bag solution too. Thrifty! Don’t go out and buy a bag of stuffing. It really isn’t necessary. DIY Squishies makes a great Fidget Toys. You can design them any way you wish and play with them to your heart’s content. I think our favourite are the paper squishies as they are so “accessible” to all. All you need is paper, stuffing (recycled!), markers and tape… and off you go! Lots of fun and kudos with the kids. A great craft activity for a rainy afternoon. How to make Homemade Squishies that are Slow Rising
