Squishy Fun Box, 8-Piece Slow-Rise Sensory Set

Eight squishies in a box, and the fight over who gets which one lasts about four minutes. Then everybody has one and the room goes quiet.

You know what is in it: a dumpling in its little bamboo steamer, a strawberry, an axolotl, two ice cubes with things floating inside, a glitter globe, a stick of butter and a highland cow. What you do not know is the colours. Those come out of the box random, which is the part they care about.

Each one is soft gel that gives slowly under a thumb and takes its time coming back. No batteries, nothing to charge, nothing that makes a sound across the room.

They end up in pockets, in the car door bin, in a school bag. That is where they are supposed to end up.
