About this event

Get ready to squeeze, squish, and create in Squishy Lab! This hands-on workshop invites young creators to explore, experiment, and have fun.

Kids will use exciting materials to make their own unique squishy creations. They’ll play with bright colors, bold patterns, fun textures, and silly designs. Each project gives them a new way to express their creativity.

First, participants will learn simple techniques for creating and decorating their squishies. Then, they can add their own personal touches. Kids can create cute animals, funny faces, colorful patterns, or something completely original. There’s no wrong way to design a squishy!

Along the way, kids will strengthen fine motor skills and build creative confidence. They’ll also practice making choices and experimenting with new ideas. Most importantly, they’ll enjoy plenty of hands-on fun in a relaxed and encouraging environment.

At the end of Squishy Lab , every participant will take home their handmade creations. They can squeeze them, display them, or share them with family and friends.

All supplies are included. Just bring your imagination and get ready for some squishy fun!

Ages 6–10
