Great child's gift

I am highly disappointed in this item. My granddaughter is obsessed with Dr. Squish and I bought her this for her 6th birthday. We have only done 4 squishies together and only 3 were keepable. My complaints are as follows: the neck of one of the balloons was defective (too thin?) and got a hole immediately after putting it on the neck of the maker and would not fill with air, it went in the trash. The machine seal is not tight enough on ours so the balloon deflates mid-assembly - resulting in our balloon overflowing and causing a huge mess. One of our finished squishies leaks, I believe from a tiny dimple that all the balloons have (used in production?). Also, to me, the balloon capacity is way too large. In other words, the small squishy is not small at all and the large size is entirely too big. That's just my opinion but I can't see how playing with something that should be fun and satisfying should cause such concern and anxiety over the mess it can cause in the long run. I am truly disheartened to leave this review!!

Giftability: Probably my new go-to for kids’ birthday gifts!Appearance: Looks like a funky little factory to me, and I imagine it looks even cooler to kids.Performance: Instructional video is short and easy to follow (didn’t even have to read instructions), the product itself is super easy to use (my 7 year old had some trouble stretching/folding the opening of the balloon over the edge of the hole the 1st couple times, and continues to need help twisting and clipping the balloon closed after filling), all 3 that my daughter made popped after 1-2 days of use (she did take a couple to school where she probably passed them around to friends, bounced all of them on our trampoline, and most likely was not careful with her fingernails when squishing - 1 hole was definitely caused by the plastic clip, and I’m hoping it can be reused if we just twist and clip it below that hole next time).Messiness: Not messy. My daughter spilled a small amount of water the 1st time she poured it in - it’s just water. I was helping her with the add-ins, but even if she had done it alone and spilled some, it’s mostly just confetti/large glitter (no tiny, dusty-type glitters).Value for money: Not sure, but worth the money to us - much easier/better than using regular balloons and water bottles like my daughter used to. Stirring spoon and water coloring not included (fine with us, just wanted to note this since the instructional video suggests these items).Ease of cleaning: Very easy to clean up, since virtually no mess was made during use. You may need to turn the main device upside down to empty any water that dripped into it, but no washing or scrubbing necessary. Everything fits back into the box it came in. Only complaint is that the add-ins aren’t in resealable packages.I do wish there were balloon replacements available for purchase. I searched briefly on Amazon and didn’t find any, but will switch up some keywords and check again.Overall, I would recommend this product and would buy again!

My daughter is into squishes right now! She was so excited to get this! Easy to use and clear instructions! We will be buying the refills and using more!

This is the only thing my daughter asked for for Christmas. It didn't last past that day unfortunately. The suction is gone. At first when you would pump the hand pump, the squishy would stay inflated. Now, it does not at all. I've tried everything & cannot figure out where it is losing suction. It's a shame because she was super excited about this gift.

The media could not be loaded. This is such a fun toy! It doesn’t come with very good glitter or shapes or additives but we used our own of that stuff and these are so pretty and fun. Some things to know ahead of time: open the clips up before you actually make a squishy, when adding things to your balloon you have to periodically blow the balloon up more because it starts to lose its air when taking a while to add various glitters and shapes, this would be a difficult thing for a kid to do really an adult needs to be the one attaching the balloon and then adding the water and powder and then removing the balloon so that it doesn’t make a huge mess. My five year old was in charge of picking out and adding all the glitters and shapes and she did some pumping of the air but otherwise I did the rest to avoid a huge mess. We have already ordered a refill pack so that we never run out of the stuff we need to make more. As long as an adult is in charge it’s not overly messy. Overall this is so fun and I would definitely purchase it again!

Got this for my kids, a 5 year old and an 8 year old after seeing it in various Tiktok videos. Played with it myself a little before letting them try because I knew it was going to be messy. Thankfully the mess I made was enough to make this an outdoor toy before it could do some damage and I was right to do so (glitter explosion)Filled the little bubbles with things from the toy itself as well as water beads and squish toys.My biggest suggestion would be not to fill them up too much, keep them smaller and twist them tight to prevent leaking from the top but it's inevitable to break open eventually with regular use so don't buy this toy if that's a major concern for you; kids are kids and kids are messy, get over it.
