These days I struggle to find a toy that is both practical and fun for my daughter. She loses interest in everything almost immediatly. She must rather be social with her friends then use her imagination, which to be honest, I am not thrilled with. I would love to see her use her imagination more and be more of a creative sole. However, a few weeks ago I learned something. She has a GREAT imagination, I’ve just been getting the WRONG toys.

Squinkies has introduced us to their lovable, squishy, squooshy, adorable toys! My daughter LOVES these! Squinkies are tiny little critters that fit easily into so many things. There are kits to make bracelets in which you can wear and display your favorite Squinkies or Squinkie set. There is also a ring you can make. There are smaller sets which container Squinkie surprises! These are going to make GREAT stocking stuffers or basket fillers. The set of Squinkies will be available in six different sets. This is a blister pack of the mini dolls, animals, etc in a blister pack of 16 characters. Squinkies will launch with 180 mini characters! The play sets are also a must have! My daughter LOVES the Cupcake Surprise Bake Shop. The little Squinkies inside the small cases go into the top (under the cherry). You can put a coin in (they come with the set) and out comes a Squinkie. She has done this time and time again, and she will guess what is coming down the shoot after she puts the coin in. She’s playing with these non-stop! My son really loves them too and plays with her all the time. I do not think this is just a girl toy! Squinkies have provided our family with hours of fun and I look forward to collecting MANY more of them!

Don’t you just love them? They steal your heart the minute you SEE them!
