Everything a Parent Needs to Know About Squinkies

Every year, there seems to be a new toy that kids are just dying to own. In 2010, that toy was known as Squinkies. Today, the brand is still just as popular and kids all over the world are still just as fascinated with it. As a parent, it is good to be informed about what exactly the toy is and why your child may like it so much. Squinkies are squishy little plastic figures that stand just about 2.54 cm tall. They come in little plastic balls which resemble the containers that kids would get out of vending machines at the local department store. Each one resembles either an animal or person, and they are meant to be collectible. They also feature a little hole on the underside which is used to attach them to accessories or to the tops of pencils or jewelry.

In addition to simply playing with these fun and exciting figures, many kids like to display their collection on one of the many accessories which are designed for just that. Kids can keep track of their collection online, which is a neat little feature. As previously mentioned, they are also popular with younger children as jewelry accessories- you can wear the figures on a ring or bracelet. In addition, they can also be used as pencil toppers to show off at school. The toys are available at almost anywhere that toys are sold, and the prices vary- the individual figures are relatively cheap, while the accessories usually cost a little more.
