Squishy

Squishy is a handmade natural super squishy dough that makes the perfect green gift for children - oodles and hours of imaginative fun and all completely compostable with 100% bio-degradeable boxes and pots for packaging.

Squishy was created by Lucy Norris, mum to three young, squishy children who wanted to play and make lots of mess and not eat broccoli or go to bed early.

One of those squishy children had autism which made life a bit trickier for the whole family and one day a fabulous lady came to visit. She was a Play Therapist version of Nanny McPhee crossed with Mary Poppins. Sadly, she couldn't adopt Lucy and her family forever and ever but for six months, she came and showed her lots of ways to help her little boy stay calmer and interact better with his sisters. Not an easy task...but when the day came to make creative dough, Lucy had a revelation. She couldn't believe she had spent so many years marching up to Woolworths (may it rest in peace) to buy the mass produced version when she could make glorious, squishy, squelchy dough whenever one of the children uttered the dreaded words...'I'm Bored!'.

Being slightly nerdy, Lucy took it a step further with super colour experiments and fabulous smells, and then another step forward with amazing biodegradebale packaging. She had created the greenest toy she could think of because it all got composted - every single bit! Not only that, but it led to oodles and hours of play - the only thing stopping the children was their own limits of imagination. From sweets and cake shops, to dinners and cafes, to pets and monsters and aliens, the fun was never ending when there was a pot of SQUISHY about.

And because Lucy's son was very sensitive to certain ingredients and very likely to shove things in his mouth that shouldn't be shoved, SQUISHY was made as natural as possible including organic flour and edible fragrance oils so that even a nibble of SQUISHY wouldn't be harmful (but so salty even Lucy's little boy spat it out...like his broccoli).

To make extra sure, Lucy got SQUISHY safety tested by top-secret scientists (well, maybe not top-secret but they were scientists) to European Safety Standards and they agreed SQUISHY was the best natural creative dough on the market and gave it a CE mark to prove it. Well Done SQUISHY! Now all you have to do is try for yourself.

(Grown-ups: SQUISHY may look and smell like the most divine thing you have seen since Krispy Kreme opened their doors, but it doesn't taste as good as it looks so always remember...SQUISH IT...SNIFF IT...SQUIDGE IT...BUT DON'T EAT IT.)
