About this event
Get ready to squeeze, squish, and sparkle in Squishy Lab: Holiday Lights Edition! This hands-on workshop invites young creators to explore, experiment, and celebrate the season with festive fun. Inspired by twinkling holiday lights, kids will use exciting materials to make their own unique squishy creations. They’ll play with bright colors, cheerful patterns, fun textures, and silly seasonal 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 string-of-lights strands, merry animals, funny faces, colorful winter 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 holiday 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 with their holiday decorations, or give them as gifts to family and friends. All supplies are included. Just bring your imagination and get ready for some merry, squishy fun! Ages 6–10
