What is Squishy Circuits?

Squishy Circuits uses conductive and insulating play dough to teach the basics of electrical circuits in a fun, hands-on way. There no need for breadboards or soldering - just add batteries and pre-made doughs (or make your own dough). Let your creations come to life as you light them up with LEDs, make noises with buzzers, and spin with the motor.

What's Included:

• 1 battery holder (takes 4 AA batteries, not included)
• 25 LEDs: 5 each of red, green, white, yellow and blue
• 1 piezoelectric buzzer
• 3 tubs of conductive dough (red, green, blue), 3.5 oz each
• 1 tub of white insulating dough, 3.5 oz
• 3 project guides
• Storage pouch
  

Special Notes and Considerations:

• The battery holder takes 4 AA batteries, not included.
• Recommended for ages 8 and up. Younger children can use it with adult supervision.
• The dough is non-toxic but contains wheat (gluten). Keep the conductive dough sealed in its tub or it dries out. The white insulating dough does not dry out.
• Tested to the ASTM F963-23 toy safety standard (Eurofins, 2026).
