1. Choose a maker
A grown-up can create maker profiles with a name, color and age-appropriate experience. Children tap their Squish to begin.
2. Pick or build
Little Makers choose and color friendly toys. Big Makers explore broader categories and building activities designed for independent discovery.
3. Play together
Saved toys and builds become friends that can join imaginative playground scenes such as the forest, park, playroom or beach.
Two experiences, one creative space
The Little Maker experience uses large choices, simple language and guided steps. The Big Maker experience introduces categories, maker-studio activities and room for more open-ended decisions. Both return to a consistent home screen and playground.
From a digital design to a toy at home
Squish Makers is being built for children under 10 to design a three-dimensional toy with grown-up guidance, then have an approved design manufactured and mailed home. An early controlled workflow may connect the backend to a 3D printer service on the same local network. The intended production model uses vetted fulfillment vendors to manufacture, package and ship approved orders directly to families.
Printing and ordering will require an explicit grown-up review before design files, delivery details or payment information leave the family experience. These manufacturing and fulfillment services are not yet available to the public.
How the printing path will evolve
During early development, the Squish Makers backend may translate an approved design into a print job and call an API exposed by a 3D printer or print controller on the same private network. This controlled setup lets the team validate printable geometry, materials, tolerances, safety checks and the grown-up approval experience before accepting public orders.
At production scale, Squish Makers is intended to coordinate with qualified third-party print and fulfillment partners. A partner would receive only the approved manufacturing files and order information needed to print, inspect, package and ship the toy. Vendor selection, product safety, quality control, pricing, delivery, returns and market-specific disclosures must be in place before this service launches.
Grown-up guidance stays close
Grown-up account areas are protected and used to manage maker profiles. Actions that may eventually involve printing or other external services are kept behind explicit grown-up checkpoints. Those production services are not currently connected.
