Mira's Squishy Road Trip: Visiting Nana and My Cousins! 🚗🍋
How is Mira taking her squishy collection on a road trip?
Mira is packing up her whole squishy collection for a road trip to visit her Nana and cousins! She's bringing her favorites (the pink cat, the lemon, the cupcake, and the rainbow squishy), a travel bin to keep them safe, and a plan to give each cousin a mini squishy from her stand. It's part family trip, part squishy show-and-tell — and she can't wait.
10 things Mira is packing for her squishy road trip
Pack a squishy travel bin.

One special squishy rides shotgun (well, backseat) for the whole trip. Mira picked the pink cat — she's the softest for napping on.Bring a mini squishy for each cousin.
Mira grabbed extra minis from her stand supply so every cousin gets one when she arrives. Surprise gifts = instant squishy party.Make a squishy road trip playlist.
Bubbly, happy songs that match squishy energy. Mira added lemon-themed songs and her favorite Kidz Bop tracks.Pack lemonade for the road.
A big thermos of homemade lemonade keeps the stand theme going even in the car. Bonus: it's way better than gas station drinks.Plan a squishy show-and-tell at Nana's.
Mira is going to line up her whole collection on Nana's coffee table and give her cousins a full tour — names, ratings, and backstories included.Take squishy photos at every stop.
Rest stops, gas stations, lookout points — every stop gets a squishy photo. It's going to be a whole photo album.Teach cousins the star rating game.
Mira is going to show her cousins how to rate squishies 1–5 stars, just like visitors do on her site. Cousin ratings coming soon!Bring a squishy-safe snack kit.
Goldfish, grapes, and pretzels — nothing sticky that could mess up a squishy if it drops. Snack safety = squishy safety.Save room for new squishies.
Nana always has a surprise. Mira left extra space in the bin in case there's a new squishy waiting at Nana's house.
Frequently asked questions
- How do you travel with a squishy collection?
- Use a clear plastic bin with a lid so you can see every squishy and keep them clean. Pick one 'car buddy' for the ride, keep the rest in the bin in the trunk or backseat floor, and avoid leaving them in a hot car — heat can warp slow-rise squishies.
- What squishies is Mira bringing on her trip?
- Mira is bringing her four favorites — the pink cat, the lemon, the cupcake, and the rainbow squishy — plus a handful of mini squishies as surprise gifts for each of her cousins.
- Are squishies good road trip toys for kids?
- Yes! Squishies are quiet, don't have small pieces that get lost, don't need batteries, and are easy to hold in the car. They're perfect for long drives and hotel stays.
- Will Mira post updates from the road trip?
- Yes — Mira plans to take squishy photos at every stop and share the trip on her page when she gets back. Check the home page and blog for updates.
