Questions and Answers

What's the difference between a squishy and a regular stress ball?

A squishy is usually made of soft foam (polyurethane) characterized by "slow rise" – after being squeezed, it slowly and smoothly returns to its original shape. Stress balls, on the other hand, can be made of rubber, silicone, or filled with gel/sand, and are usually bouncier or designed for stronger hand resistance.

Are the products suitable for children of all ages?

Most products in this category are suitable for ages 3 and up. It is important to note that squishies are made of foam that can crumble if bitten, and are therefore not recommended for children who still tend to put objects in their mouths. Always check the age label on the packaging.

How do you make a squishy last longer?

To keep your squishy clean and intact, it is recommended to avoid overstretching (they are designed for squeezing, not for strong pulling). If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a wet wipe or a slightly damp cloth. It is important not to use harsh cleaning agents that could damage the color or texture of the foam.

Do stress balls really help with concentration?

Absolutely! Studies and occupational therapy experts indicate that light motor activity in the hands (such as squeezing a ball) can help the brain focus on the main task, especially for children with ADHD.

Do Squishies have a smell?

Many squishy models come with sweet and pleasant scents (like vanilla, chocolate, or fruit) to enhance the sensory experience. Information about the scent will usually appear in the specific product description.
