How much are taba squishies? Here, the same as foam
How much are taba squishies? In our shop, a finished silicone taba squishy sold on its own costs $17.99. We checked 702 squishy listings on September 30, 2026, and every one of the 22 single silicone squishies sat at that price, which is also what 142 of 145 single foam squishies cost. Silicone did not move the price. The number of pieces in the box did.
That answer surprises people who have seen taba squishies sold for much more elsewhere. The rest of this page covers what the silicone listings look like next to foam ones, what plausibly makes a taba squishy cost more at another shop, and what you pay if you make your own.
Silicone and foam listings, counted side by side
We sorted the catalog by what each listing says the squishy is made of. A listing counted as silicone if it names silicone or taba; it counted as foam if it names memory foam, PU foam or just foam. Anything that names neither went into its own pile, because we do not guess at a material the listing does not state.
| What the listing names | Sold as one piece | Price of the single pieces | Sold as a set or pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silicone or taba | 22 finished squishies | all 22 at $17.99 | 1 set, a cream-roll trio at $22.99 |
| Foam (PU, memory or plain foam) | 145 | 142 at $17.99, three at $19.99 to $24.99 | 38 packs, median $22.99 |
| Neither | 305 | 297 at $17.99 | 189 packs, median $19.99 |
The silicone singles include a soft silicone chick, a realistic silicone turtle and a strawberry cake. Put any of them next to a PU foam butter squishy and the checkout total is the same.
Two limits on this table. First, material is only what the listing text says; about 70% of our squishy listings name no material at all. Second, a “set” was spotted from words like pack, set, trio or a count in the name, so a handful may be sorted wrong. Neither caveat changes the headline: no silicone single costs more than a foam single here.
Why are taba squishies expensive in other shops?
We can’t see another shop’s costs, so this section is reasoning, not a price survey. These are the parts of making a silicone squishy that take more time or material than foam, based on how the two materials are made.
The mold is busy for longer. Liquid silicone has to cure before it can come out of the mold. Our own 8-mold silicone kit tells buyers a poured piece is ready after 24 hours. Foam chemistry can react in anything from a few seconds to many minutes, and the fast mixes are stirred by machine (see foam rubber for how that process works). A mold that turns out one silicone piece a day produces fewer toys than one that can be refilled within the hour.
Two parts have to be measured. Silicone for squishies usually comes as a part A and a part B that are mixed before pouring; our paw-and-capybara kit tells you to mix them 1:1. Two-part silicone rubber cures at room temperature once mixed, so it can be stirred in a cup and poured by hand, which is how a small maker works, one pour at a time.
Small makers and branded lines. “Taba” began as a name tied to particular sellers, and a lot of what gets called a taba squishy comes from small shops or branded lines rather than bulk foam factories. We explain where the word came from in What Is a Taba Squishy?. A small batch spreads its fixed costs over fewer pieces.
None of this says a more expensive taba squishy is a better one, and none of it tells you what a specific shop pays. It only explains why a price above a foam squishy’s is not automatically a markup.
What changes a squishy’s price here: the count in the box
If material doesn’t set the price in our catalog, what does? The count printed in the name. Reading the piece count from each listing’s name, all 82 two-piece listings cost $19.99, all 38 three-piece listings cost $22.99 and all 32 four-piece listings cost $29.99. Past four pieces the ladder breaks up, from $13.99 for a ten-pack of small bean squishies to $51.99 for a 130-piece set, because the pieces themselves get much smaller. The ladder applies to silicone, foam and unlabeled squishies alike.
So the useful comparison is price per piece, not price per listing. We worked that out for squishy balls in How Much Does a Squishy Ball Cost?, and the same arithmetic works for any pack: divide the price by the count printed in the name.
Making your own: what a taba squishy kit costs
If you want many silicone squishies, a kit changes the maths. These are the two liquid silicone kits we sell:
| Kit | Price | What the listing says is in it |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid silicone, 8 molds | $21.99 | Two-part silicone, 8 reusable molds, a picture guide, glow pigment; pieces cure in 24 hours |
| Liquid silicone, paw, capybara and bunny molds | $29.99 | Two silicone parts mixed 1:1, 3 animal molds, powders and paste for colour and effects, plus mixing tools and bags |
Neither listing says how much silicone is in the bottles, so we can’t give you a per-squishy cost, and we’d rather say that than invent one. The molds are reusable; the silicone is what runs out. The cheaper kit gives you more molds, the dearer one more extras and fewer shapes. Our look inside these kits goes through the contents line by line.
FAQ
How much do taba squishies cost?
In our shop, a finished silicone taba squishy sold singly costs $17.99, and the one silicone set we carry, three cream rolls, costs $22.99. Other shops price them differently; small-batch silicone takes longer per piece to make than molded foam, which can push the price higher.
How much do squishies cost in general?
Across 702 squishy listings we checked, 467 of the 477 listings that sell one piece cost $17.99. Packs cost more per listing but less per piece: two-packs are $19.99, three-packs $22.99 and four-packs $29.99.
Is an expensive taba squishy better than a cheap one?
A high taba squishy price alone won’t tell you. Check whether the listing names the material, gives a size and shows the real piece. Our guide to what a listing can prove before you buy lists what to look for.
Is it cheaper to make taba squishies yourself?
It can be if you make several, since the molds are reusable. The kit listings don’t state how much silicone they contain, though, so the cost per squishy depends on how big you pour each one.
