Age 0-5 yrs.

Squish is a wildly creative app, both in terms of the unusual tools it puts at your disposal and the incredible results kids are able to get with them. Start by choosing a color and 3D clay shape with which to work. It could be a Mickey or Minnie shape, a sphere, a block. There are dozens more you can add to the mix - food, musical instruments, sports equipment, even silly-looking body parts. You can then choose from an array of tools that let you dent, sculpt, stretch, add bumps, even make portions magically disappear. While doing so, rotate your 3D sculpture to get at every nook and cranny. Take pictures to preserve in the app's photo gallery. When you're finished, choose from a variety of Squishers that do wild and wonderful things to your creations. These crazily fun gizmos let you twist, inflate, melt your sculptures, even break them into progressively smaller pieces with each tap of the screen. The tools and features are so intuitive and easy-to-use that even very young children have the time of their lives.
