Soft N Slo Squishies

How It Works

As soon as you push on one of these toys with one or two hands, it'll squish up into a smaller form, but then when you let go, the toy will rise like bread. However, unlike with bread, you won't need to wait a half hour for one to take its original, larger form, as each will "rise" in a minute or less.

Features

• Vibrant Colors

  If you play pretend with your Squishies, you'll feel almost as if you're using real food, as the Squishies come in such vibrant, true-to-life colors. You can choose between a bright red and yellow mini cake, a mint green scoop of ice cream on a cone, a cupcake with purple icing and more.

• Realistic Size

  Besides being colored realistically, these toys also come in a similar size to their real-food counterparts. A cupcake is about the same size as a real cupcake, an ice cream cone is about the same size as a real cone, and so on. One major advantage of this sizing is that the toys will be too big for babies and toddlers to put in their mouths, so they won't run the risk of accidentally ingesting them and choking.

• Collectible

  If you're a person who likes collecting things, you may want to take on the challenge of obtaining all eleven Squishies for yourself and / or your children.

• Come in Sets of Three

  All these toys come in sets of three, so if you have more than one child under your care, you won't need to worry about them fighting over a lone squishy toy. Plus, if one gets lost or misplaced, you'll still have at least two around, and pretend games are always more fun with more than one piece of pretend food.

Positive Points

• Can be Educational

  The Soft N Slo Squishies can be educational, as they can be used to teach young children what different foods look like. If they already know the names of the foods in their own language, but you want to teach them a second one, they may be useful in this regard, too. Any elementary school classroom will likely benefit from having at least a few of these toys on its toy shelf.

• Will Double as Ball

  If you lack balls around the house, but want to play catch, one of these toys is soft enough and a good size to double as a ball. You can even use them to play catch with pets—just watch the pets closely to ensure that they aren't ripping pieces of plastic off any of the toys with their teeth or paws.

• Promote Hand Dexterity

  Babies, toddlers and young children will be able to work on developing their hand dexterity by squeezing one of these toys. People who are having temporary or continuous issues with their hands, due to arthritis or some other physical issue, may also benefit from doing this.

Negative Points

• Can't Pick What's in Set

  When you order one set of three Squishies, you won't be able to pick exactly which ones you're getting. You'll get three different ones as a surprise. While some people might find this fun, it might not be fun if you receive doubles of toys you already have while you're still missing some others.
