What a taba squishy kit usually means
When people search for a taba squishy kit, they usually mean a pour-and-cure kit: two bottles of liquid silicone that you mix, colour and pour into a mold, then leave to set into a soft, bouncy figure. “TabaSquishy” is also a brand name (its own site lists it as a registered mark), so treat “taba” as a style of homemade silicone squishy rather than a promise about who made the kit.
There is a second kind of squishy making kit that shows up in the same searches and works nothing like it: pre-made stretchy skins that you fill with a loose filler and seal. Both end with something you can squeeze. The work, the waiting time and the mess are very different.
We sell one of each style plus a second silicone kit, so this page goes through what each box contains, taken from our own product listings, and what that means before you order.
Three kits side by side
| Silicone kit, 8 molds | Silicone kit, paw / capybara / bunny | TPR skin kit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Mix two-part liquid silicone, pour into a mold, let it cure | Mix silicone A and B at 1:1, add colour or glow powder, pour, let it cure | Stretch a skin open, pour in filler, press out the air, seal with a ring and plug |
| Molds or skins | 8 reusable molds | 3 molds: mini paw, capybara, bunny | 15 clear soft TPR skins |
| Extras listed | Picture step-by-step guide, glow-in-the-dark pigment | Glow powder, glitter, flocking powder, colour paste, cups, sticks, anti-stick gel, storage bags | 5 fillers (14 oz in total), air pump, expander tool |
| Waiting time stated | Cures in 24 hours | Not stated on the listing | None: no curing step |
| Box size / weight | About 15.5 × 5 × 18.5 cm, 408 g | About 17.5 × 23.5 × 5.2 cm, 803 g | Not listed |
| Price | $21.99 | $29.99 | $27.99 |
Everything in the table comes from the listings for the 8-mold silicone kit, the paw, capybara and bunny kit and the 15-skin TPR kit. Where a listing is silent, the table says so; we have not filled the gaps with guesses.
Reading the silicone kits: more molds or more extras
The two silicone boxes look similar at first glance, and the price gap runs the opposite way to the mold count. The cheaper kit has eight molds; the dearer one has three.
What the extra money buys is the decorating and cleanup side. The paw, capybara and bunny kit lists glitter, flocking powder (the fuzzy, velvet-like coating), colour paste, mixing cups, stirring sticks, anti-stick gel and bags to store finished pieces. The 8-mold kit’s contents list names the silicone, the molds, a picture guide and glow pigment, and does not mention cups, sticks or colour paste. If you already keep disposable cups and craft sticks at home, that matters less than it sounds. If you are buying for someone who has nothing set up, the all-in-one box saves a trip.
The paw kit’s box is also heavier (803 g against 408 g), but neither listing states how much silicone is inside, so we cannot tell you how many pieces each bottle set will make. The 8-mold kit describes its molds as reusable, which means the silicone, not the molds, sets the limit; the paw kit’s listing does not say either way.
One practical point about the glow extras: the paw kit’s listing notes that finished glow pieces light up after being charged under light. Plan to leave them near a lamp or window before switching the lights off.
Reading the TPR skin kit: fifteen squishies, no waiting
The TPR kit is closer to the old balloon-and-flour stress ball than to a taba squishy. Instead of balloons you get thick, clear skins. You widen the opening with the expander tool, pour in one of the fillers, press the air out and close the skin with a ring and plug. An air pump is also in the box.
The numbers are easy to work with. Fifteen skins for $27.99 comes to about $1.87 per finished ball. The five fillers total 14 oz, roughly 397 g, which averages out to about 26 g of filler per skin if you use all fifteen. That arithmetic is ours, from the listing figures; you can of course pack some skins fuller than others.
Because nothing has to cure, you can squeeze the result right away. There is also no silicone to mix, which removes the part of the silicone kits that needs gloves.
What else to have ready
- Gloves. Both silicone listings tell you to wear gloves while mixing. Neither lists gloves among the contents, so have a pair ready.
- A covered work surface. Both silicone listings also say to cover the table first. Newspaper or a plastic sheet you can throw away works.
- Somewhere to leave pieces overnight. The 8-mold kit states a 24-hour cure. Pick a flat spot where the molds will not be knocked.
- An adult nearby. The silicone listings say younger children make squishies together with an adult. The TPR listing says the skins and small parts are not for young children without supervision.
Which one to pick
- You want the classic taba-style result and plenty of shapes: the 8-mold silicone kit.
- You want to decorate with glitter, flocking or colour, and want cups and sticks in the box: the paw, capybara and bunny kit.
- You want a batch of squishies in one sitting, for a party table or a class, with no overnight wait: the TPR skin kit.
All three are in our squishy making kits collection.
FAQ
What do you need for a taba squishy kit besides the box?
Going by the two silicone kits we sell: gloves, a covered surface and a place where the filled molds can sit undisturbed while they cure. The paw, capybara and bunny kit already includes cups and sticks; for the 8-mold kit, the listing does not mention them, so plan on your own.
How long does a taba squishy take to cure?
Our 8-mold silicone kit states 24 hours. The paw, capybara and bunny kit does not state a cure time on its listing, so follow the instructions in the box.
Is a squishy making kit with TPR skins the same as a taba squishy kit?
No. A TPR skin kit gives you ready-made skins to fill and seal, with no silicone and no curing. A taba-style kit has you mix and pour liquid silicone into a mold, so you shape the squishy yourself.
Can a taba squishy mold be reused?
The 8-mold kit’s listing says its molds are reusable, so one kit can make many pieces until the silicone runs out; how much silicone is included is not stated. The paw, capybara and bunny kit’s listing does not say whether its molds are reusable.
