Elmers Squishies Secret Solution REVEALED! #diy

Enthält Werbung durch Markennennung / Contains advertisement due to visible brand logos
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 That in itself feels fairly outdated.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

[Psycheee]

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 🫂🤍

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.

[wakaran]

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.

[linzeaya]

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.

[JomasterTheSecond]

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

[pearldiamond]

I love how detailed all your videos are!

[abigailmcilroy]

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 ☺️

[bibbleb]

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 😭

[alizagardin]

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 😊

[kai.epic_]

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

[BethRazz]

Yesss always love when you upload a new video!! This kit looks fun. 💖

[lindsay_anderson]

I love Elmer's squishy and slime making kits so much!!!

[malloryjordan]

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!

[tocklehop]

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. 😊

[demoonyo]

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

[aura-chan]

You're really creative, I come to your channel for last minute gift ideas or just cute innovations all of your videos are really calming and cool to try. Thank you!!

[firehawk]

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.

[TheNeverEndingHowl]

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

[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
