Come for the squishies. Stay for the emotional regulation.
Listen, when your job is literally playing with kids, having an elite squishy collection is basically a professional responsibility.
As a Registered Play Therapist, I love toys that give kids opportunities to slow down, explore sensory input, and figure out what helps their bodies feel regulated. And sometimes? That’s a Needoh. Sometimes it’s pretend play. Sometimes it’s throwing a dollhouse chair across the room. (We’re a judgment-free establishment.)
But let’s be real… I was collecting squishies before they became the Beanie Babies of our generation, and now suddenly everyone gets it.
