Paper Squishies

Kids can create their very own squishy toys at this hands-on craft session in the Main Library's Craft Room. Using provided templates or their own designs, children will color, cut, laminate, and stuff their creations to bring home a tactile toy they made themselves. It's a straightforward, satisfying project that combines creativity with a functional craft kids will actually want to play with afterward. This activity works well for children who enjoy working with their hands and don't mind getting into the details of a multi-step project. The laminating and filling process makes the final product feel special and special—sturdier than paper usually is. If your child loves making things or collecting homemade toys, this is a great way to spend an afternoon at the library.
