App Alert: Squish: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse has had a second life in our home. My daughter enjoyed it when she was younger and my son has recently discovered the show. Since he enjoys the show I introduced him to this new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse app called Squish. It has kept him occupied for a while and he continues to have fun with this simple silly game.

Basically you get clay versions of some of the Mickey Mouse Club characters and you can blow them up, melt them and twist them but they will go back to their original shape and you can try again. There is also an option to take photos of your squish creation and add all sorts of accessories to what you have created. It is a fun cute little app.
