Hii!!!
Hii why is the sharp pointy thing blurred out? Lol
Jackie went is the sharp pointy thing covered up by a Marlin/sail fin fish??
Oh my god 😮 thats so much money 😮😂😊 for Squishies 😮😊😂 thats so awsome from you that you spend so much money for KZhead Videos, your awsome 😊 i love your Videos 😊 greetings 😊
Nice plushies😂😂😂😂
I like that Elmer's saw the craze around making squishies with their product, and instead of just rushing a product out to the masses that was lackluster in quality, they waited and developed it properly to ensure something good went out.

Ok, but why do I ACTUALLY want this kit. I’m usually more of a “watcher” but this one has so much room for customization and genuinely just looks so fun!
Yeah!! Someone suggested I try the molds with plaster. I’m actually curious now!
Same!
I watch her videos as a way to not buy everything I see. Gets out the urge without spending money. But now I'm actually tempted to buy this!
I was going to say the same thing. Most of the time they really don't have any other use besides just being there, but this one looks like a fun activity plus a fidget toy that won't break in 24 hours
@@killianseverson998 knowing my luck if I bought it my pet would break it lol
Have you ever thought of doing an entire video in your first language? NikkiTutorials did it and I think it was one of her most watched videos. I’d love to see one from you ☺️ As a basic biscuit who only speaks English I’m always entranced by others who are more language-ly talented than myself.
This kit looks super thought out and it's nice seeing a company like Elmer's putting out such a well thought out kit that actually delivers
Its nice that they included tools where 4 people could be making them at the same time and its decently priced.
I love it especially when companies take the time and put uniqueness in everything.
I dont
Why?
Me to
Much love as always to Jackie and the grains! I’m guessing you had to hide your sharp pointy thing for sponsorship reasons? Absolutely hysterical that you used a sharp pointy fish! 😂
From my attempts I can say that if you tap the mold on the base of your hand, or on a table, after you pour it really helps getting more of the air bubbles out. It's really helpful expecially with the unicorn characters that way their horns get filled in ❤
If I got this kit, I’d really wanna paint these and give them details, they would look soo good
Exactly!!
I'm probably going to try if I can buy it
Yeah, I’m wondering if fabric paint would be the way to go when painting them. I feel like acrylic would just flake off.
Get some clay and press into the side of the mold, do that with both sides and then you can have a character to paint!
@@Annie_Annie__ I don’t think fabric paint would work since those squishies are more like mochi squishies and not memory foam squishies
Blaze the fire-breathing chicken reminds me of The Cockatrice from GMM. Overall, all the 80 designs are so creative and interesting I love this so much!!! Also so glad to see Jackie enjoys making all of them!
I too got GMM vibes I like the shuffle board game and where in the world did this come from dart game... To to find a fellow mythical beast here in the wild...
me too! always lovely to find Mythical Beasts on other channels
Hello, fellow beasts! Hope your days are going good. :)
It reminded me of Kubo and the Two Strings! Fire breathing chicken that also shoots eggs out its butt.
My grandma broke my cookie during this video. now I'm sad :(
OH. MER. GUD. I was actually gonna suggest this craft to you Jackie, and was super excited to see that you were interested too, along with the video! I also can't believe that Elmer's sent you all 80 molds, while I'm here trying to get new ones, after getting so many duplicates. Guess I'm not praying enough to the Elmer's Squishies Gods. LOL
Love the glow in the dark one xxx
A sentence you never expect to hear "Is that a warthog or a dog with a mustache" LOL... Love you Jackie, you ALWAYS make my day!!
Jackie , I almost spit my water out of my mouth when you said that !!!! I had to put my hand over my mouth just so I wouldn't do that !!!!! I ALWAYS get so excited when I see your posts on my phone because you just make my day when you are here for me !!!!!
@@laurieschapro6036 how do you spit water out of your mouth when she said "insert sentence"
@@drake19992because they were probably laughing 💀
This is the perfect upload to watch before I go to work for a 14 hour night shift! I'm a Carer for the elderly, & I'm thinking that I might have to see if this kit is available to buy in the UK as several of my Resident's would really enjoy getting involved in this activity! You've actually given me several ideas throughout your video's of the last couple of years of craft projects I was able to adapt to suit the individual needs of my Resident's so thank you for everything you do for us Grains! Stay safe, stay healthy & have a wonderful weekend!! xx 😃💜🙏🎨🖌️
I love love love that kids can borrow each other's molds! That's so cool, especially for siblings. 😂 That and the fact you can use your own glue and pigments. The only sucky part is that the refills are $18 for 5, making each mochi clock in at $3.60. Wish it was a bit cheaper, but at least the products are quality and it does seem worth it for the activity.
Pretty sure the first character was actually a griffon. Aside from that, I really appreciate how great the kit was, and seeing Jackie truly enjoy the whole experience for once was heartwarming.
I love that it includes a stir stick for every single one. It means doing it as an activity at a birthday party or summer camp doesn't involve waiting for your turn then not getting to enjoy with your friends
yes!!
That sounds great I think I don’t know what my opinion is going to rate it or give you F minus
Wow!! Elmer's kits blow all of the kid kits out of the water!!! I love that they thought of the "key" to help empty the packets! Genius and perfect for limited mobility people. It empties the entire quantity as well!!!!
I think Elmer's thought throughout when doing this kit. Include mixing sticks, cups, and molds. Making a great craft activity for the kiddos. They should do like a club size for groups.
Jackie I love you so much. You are amazing. You remind me of my mom. She was cute funny and very kind. I am autistic and my mom was my hero. We did everything together. She passed away in 2015 from cancer. She would have loved your channel. I am an artist and poet my mom encouraged me to be myself and build my business. I started two online businesses to sell my artwork. ❤😊
A company actually contacting you that's.... Brave. And smart. This product is perfect for you and your audience: mystery box + fidgety + a bit craftiness. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness put into it is noteworthy and the character desings look fantastic. I agree with you that the solid color ones look better than the glitter ones, those seem to need more pigment or be mixed with the solid colors. You gave some interesting ideas with the glow in the dark and the mica powder that they should take note off. At least for the rare ones to make them extra special. Overall, I liked it. Seems to be a solid product
You know right away a company stands behind their product when they have the guts to send Jackie thier products lol
It's nice to see a major brand produce a complete and competent craft kit!
Omg Leo the fox is adorable ❤😊
Its quite funny tbh. My husband makes fun of me because i find so much enjoyment and just pure happiness from watching your videos jackie!!! My husband says that he doesnt see me giggle like a little girl as much as i do while watching your videos!!! I really really love watching you ❤❤❤ thank you for consistently posting. Hope youre doing well health wise and everything in life is going the way you want 💗🥺
Your comment made my salty heart very warm 😭❤️ thank you for making me part of your days
I started watching while recovering from my second stroke about 6 years ago. Jackie's videos are just, soothing I guess is the best way to put it. She's the modern day Bob Ross IMO. Luv you, girl ❤️
I couldn’t care less about doing most of these crafts but I find myself coming back every time 😂😂
❤ Crapola should be taking notes on how a good kit is made, and with good products that give great results ❤
I really appreciate that the cups and stirrers are not just "one and done" throwaways. Kodos to Elmer for making something that can be reused. I love the versatility of this kit. I do wonder if you can use the moulds with other products like resin or clay. I think clay would be fine, not sure about resin because the product in this kit did leak out the edges a little as shown when unmoulded. I really loved that glow-in-the-dark version you made; seems that worked really well. Glitter can be cute and pretty, but the glittery characters really don't show the details very well (at least not on camera), so I'm not thrilled with them. Overall, this is a great kit! Tons of characters, versatility, and squishy! Well done, Elmers!
My favourite animal is a bat. I like dragons too and I don't mind a unicorn. Exciting to see what you get and do 😁 My fave ones was the colour shift dragon, but theglow in the dark was the best, would love to see more glow in the dark ones with other colours too - if possible ❤❤
Wow, that glow in the dark one was insane! I kinda want these. Not only are the molds really cute, they turn out really well!
Never heard of these. Watched the video and ran right out to get some. Elmer's had a great idea sponsoring the video.
Ooh. A company that reached out to Jackie. They must have a lot of faith in their product
Really though, I'm super impressed going by this video. I'm used to toy companies being as lazy as possible with their figure molds most of the time.
I hope they come out with a nonmystery box version. Because seriously it would suck to get 5 of the same character molds.
I love these. It's amazing how everything is reusable. The creatures are gorgeous too. My favourite animal is cat but from this set my favourites are the bunny molds.
I don’t know what Pat’s hobbies are but for two people who share artisticness you definitely make this seem like a good couple activity as with a couple who both play instruments or something
I'm only six and a half minutes in, but I gotta stop and say how impressed I am with this! The tube wringer included in the reusable stir sticks (brilliant), 80 absolutely adorable and totally different characters, not just a dozen in different colors, marked cups, a full color guide...Bruh, someone at Elmers is clearly a grain and made sure that they did everything right. I'm not joking. I'm betting that there's an Elmers grain watching this and is thrilled to see you using their product. I love the fox with the little antlers! I think I'd definitely want that one, but honestly there isn't one in the whole lot that I'd be disappointed to get, which is incredibly rare! Usually I love some but absolutely hate others, but I think all of these look great! Maybe the standing hippo from the front of the box, but really...80 unique creatures with so much character! Edit: I was so stoked to see armadillos included! And I love the facepalm penguin. My only question is, can you use resin dyes, not colored resin but the plain dyes, in these? If you don't know then perhaps I'll reach out to Elmers and see if they can tell me.
From Nana's helpful hints: When filling a mold that isn't lined with mica, put some of the material in the mold and guide it into the smallest spaces. Fill then using a !!BaKiNg!!🧁technique, tap tap tap the mold on the table to help the bubbles rise. Is is especially helpful if you have an area in the mold that might capture a bubble from below by being more narrow than the bottom.
Wow. There was like... no complaints. Only air bubbles occasionally, but that's not bad. Elmer's impressed me a ton with this!
I bet you could even patch those with a toothpick and some careful solution application - though they might pop back out, depending on how well new solution bonds to cured solution.
The owl with a human face reminds me of the Astrids from the Fablehaven series! What a fun kit! 😊
I thought it might be a griffon. I was thinking that was a lion's face?
@@39Bosski I think there is a griffin in the pack, but that one had an all owl body, not half lion like a griffin. Astrids, at least in Fablehaven, are described as golden owls with human faces. They also have the ability to transform into full size humans with wings. I don't know if they are actual mythical creatures or just made up by the author, but they have always fascinated me. 😊
did i just see that each mould is numbered? that is so awesome, that way you know if you had doubles before actually making them
I love how they used as lest amount of plastic as possible and waste!! usually everything comes in a big plastic bag with there own smaller plastic bags but Elmers is stepping up their game! I'm definitely going to be buying some for myself and for my neices and nephews!
Thank you Jackie and Pat❣👍 for this squishie fun. I can see bright and colorful items.
I love love the derpy frog and the fire breathing chicken. That one reminded me of the channel that they do Hot Ones on. The three experimental ones were fantastic! My favorite is the color shift purple. I’m a purple kinda gal. Love your vids Jackie. Thank you for this one. It’s SO completely opposite of what Crayola would bring. Love this!
These are so cute and looks so fun
This is a perfect mix of unboxing fidgets and crafting. Thank you for getting back to your roots lately.
Why hiding the sharp pointy thing? 😮
probably a branding conflict since this is Elmer's sponsored.
You’re right!
It’s a SCALPEL😊
@@TDurdenFC21 It's called a sharp pointy thing on this channel, and has been for ages! :]
Yeah nerdy crafter
Hey Jackie, Moroccan fan over here. I laughed so hard in the English eating part 😂😂 Same girl !! Although dying to hear talk in Arabic 😊
The non glitter blue ones seemed so vibrant, of course it was a quick glimpse. Seems like a fun activity to do with your children
A couple of critiques on these instructions. I am suprised they didnt mention, maybe a way to avoid air bubbles. Also the extra compound waisted seems to be something they could have mentioned that we could add the exess to our own mold to make a base or something. These are minor details i notised, however these are many kilometers ahead of crapola.
i may invest in this kit for my four littles. these looks so fun. Love seeing pat and hearing jame in the background. hope they are well
OMG!!! Love the glow in dark one ❤❤❤
Okay - you inspired me.... I picked up a single package.... I need more. These are absolutely ADORABLE.
I bought one of these for my daughter after watching your first video on them, and she loves it so much that I'm planning on buying her a big kit of them for her birthday this year. She got Angus, the grumpy looking elephant, and I secretly hope she gets the fire breathing chicken!
I just love the joy and chaos you emit, makes my day!
just love the fish
Wow. Wholly shrimp. That is a shedload of work.
Jackie: “Oh thats a cute packaging.” Jackie not even two seconds later:*YEETS that box*
I love you videos Jackie!
Love the frog and the elephant!
What a fun and well thought out project. It's definitely something that both children and adults can enjoy. As for picking a favorite, it's hard to choose because they're all so cute and unique. But if I had to pick, I would go with Milo the penguin. I absolutely adore penguins, and Milo is the name of my umbrella cockatoo. Love my feather baby to bits! 🥰🥰🥰
I love me a Dragon!
Those are so adorable! I wish the molds could be used for resin though. Imagine the possibilities!
Well, I guess that with some resin that doesn't have a very high curing temperature and a good amount of mold release you could do it probably
use clay then maybe you can resin over the finished clay item.
@@laurfincher8137 that’s a great idea!
I love the bunny among all ! Sending Jackie many many loves from Singapore ❤
OMG i love the Bunny ❤❤❤
yesss i got one of these squishy kits a while ago and i was very impressed by it tbh! these are a perfect introductory project for kids or anyone who wants to get into mold making and casting without spending a lot of money on materials. the molds are great too, the characters are appealing and well sculpted with a lot of personality. i actually really want to know what the “secret solution” is. did elmer’s tell you what it is? is it silicone? it must be some sort of silicone right?? whatever it is, it’s a nice and easy material to work with. my squishy turned out good with only a few tiny air bubbles. the only complaint i have about this product is that my squishy had a LOT of flashing around the mold line and i had to carefully trim it off. i feel like maybe they could probably have made the mold snap together more tightly so less material leaks out of it? these are still awesome though
I wonder how well and what kind of paint could be used on these? Would you need fabric pain to preserve squishiness? I would expect plain acrylics to flake off...
Cats all the way!!! I love your vids Jackie!!
Omgg I love the glow one!!!
These were fun for me to make. I had extra of the mix from mine that I ended up putting it in a duck mold I made a long while ago and yes it didn't stick to the silicone mold so you can use this kit in custom molds as well ;)
yeah plastic cups are pretty easily reusable. I have a set of cups I use for making mold. I think I used them 20 times now no problem. I also love that the molds are reusable. I would love if the facial features where a littlebit more clear. but I still hope this product will reach germany sometime. I need the fox!
THEY ARE SOOOOOO CUTE 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I want them all! It looked really fun Congreats on your new collection
oh my goodness sooo cute!!!! I loved Leo the devious fox too!!! (:
That fire chicken 😍😍
these give me creepy crawlers vibes and are adorable
Imagine all the licenses they could get for these kits. Who wouldn't want a tiny (maybe super deformed) Megatron or Battle Cat like this?
I love the Squishy!!!✨🍡🍥
UNICORNS are always awesome and in purple make it awesomely perfect
Okay, not sure if I missed a video, but does Sharp Pointy Thing need to be censored now? The swordfish is cute, but honestly, that’s silly. Favorite fantasy creature: 🐉
According to an earlier comment, yes Elmers insisted
I wonder if you could use the molds with anything else, like clay, chocolate, etc...
that is one of the best kits ive seen in a while, functional, easy instructions, reusable, includes everything, very nice!
Hey Jackie I can see you putting in your plaster of Paris and making the moulds like your ones and then doing the painting of them...what are marvellous, marvellous toy!
My favorite animal is a White Tiger. My favorite mythical creature, is the Jabberwocky from Alice in Wonderland.
My favorite animal is tied between the red panda and the white tiger, while my favorite mystical creature is a tie between the cocatries(I think that's how you spell it,) and a phenix
What's with the covering of the sharp pointing thing? You've either had a complaint or certain rules have changes.
❤ you know that shimmery dragon was my fav.🐉
Loved it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where is your sister sika😢
Omg yeah where is she
These are soooo cute! I love the bunnies.
Yeah, a company that has a product that works! These are so darn cute, and the glow-in-the-dark one is a nightlight. I have used a mold before, but if it worked, these would make fantastic jello molds for kids. I want to send a shout-out to Sika...how are you, ladybug? Have a great weekend, xoxo's Sandie
Could you use those molds with resin or plaster? Make little non- squishy figures you could paint?
Yay I love your channel and moriahs
You can add your own glitter and mica powders with the solutions from the kits! They also work really well with silicon molds for resin. ^^
I love the glo in the dark one❤
i love the glow in the dark ! it'z sooooo pretty !
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE SWORDFISH OVER THE SHARP POINTY THING ❤❤❤❤
I like putting the goo in different molds. I made really cute glow in the dark gummy bear squishies!
I love the fish to hide the sharp pointy thing
Omg this is cute and fun! If they had this back when I was a child I would've been living in heaven!
Unicorns are the best ever 💞
These are so cute! My niece would love this kit so much!
Elmer's has really out done themselves with this kit! Watching you make them and seeing how much versatility they can give you! Being reusable models, and the stur sticks! Like Elmer's is on the roll for kit making!
I love the "Glow in the Dark " one. We are big fans here in this house from Glow in the Dark. I love that you really did every option you could do. So the company really could see maybe things they didn't even think of . I think every toy - diy- company should ask you to try their product. You are so very amazing. And my son really gets inspired by you. I can see it in his artwork he brings home from school. ( he has autism & adhd and never had fun in doing art at school . But eversince we discovered your account, he gets more and more into art ) . So, as a mother from a son with autism & adhd . I thank you for showing him how to do things and that it is okay to let yourself go in the artworks that you make.
