Squishy Sensory Fidget Toys for Kids - Sensory Toys for Kids with Autism, Quiet Fidgets for Classroom Students Autistic, Relief for Calm Down, Squeeze Sensory Maze Easter Basket for Boys Girls

I’ve had two different kinds of pocket-size liquid-filled fidgets over the years that have both been discontinued. Both of those were over-priced “special needs” products, and, in an effort to increase durability, were not as squishy as I would have liked. I really like GooToobz, as well as the smaller Lesong version, but they’re too big for discrete fidgeting, and I’ve wanted a truly pocket-size version since those came out, so I was thrilled to find these. They’re a great size, and the keychain means I can clip them to a belt loop, purse, backpack, dog leash, etc. And with 12 toys in one $10 set, I have enough of them for all of those places and more. These are somewhat softer than the larger Lesong products, more like the original GooToobz, which I prefer for fidgeting. I assume this will mean less durability, but at under a dollar a piece, this is fine with me, and while the liquid is bright enough for visual appeal, looks diluted enough not to stain, and it’s a small enough volume I’m not overly worried about potential mess. I also really like that, whereas the set of 4 smaller fidgets from Lesong all have beads that produce noise when squished, half of these are the quieter pearlized version, making them more discrete.The first of these actually broke while I was writing this review (go figure), and as expected, it left a small wet spot with only very minimal purple color on my jeans (see photo), plus a few small drops on the floor. This is at the low end of mess I’ve seen from the liquid and gel fidgets I’ve used (of which there have been many), and no one around me even noticed it. I’ll continue to use these, and provided the others don’t break unreasonably quickly, I’ll likely order more when these are gone.

I am quite happy with my purchase of Sensory Fidget Toys for Kids Toddlers - 6 Pack Squishy Sensory Toys for Autism Children Special because I've purchased them before and have been very pleased with how engaging these fun squishy tubes in different shapes with mazes for the liquid to squeeze through with these beautiful, teeny tiny, confetti-type sparkles in the liquid inside the clear plastic that can be squeezed on the sides to make the sparkles move through the maze back and forth, but now they've added teeny tiny beads that make a better teeny tiny sound that can be quite soothing as the liquid carries the beads and sparkles through the mazes. The only negative is the quality control needs looked into as two from one set of 6 I ordered had slight compressions on some of the curves of the maze that made the beads and sparkles stockpile as they could not pass smoothly through and the second set had one too and another one with part of the clear see-through plastic had a couple frosted spots that should have been detected at packaging and removed and replaced. So instead of getting 12 Squishies, I actually got 8 that were perfectly undamaged. As The two sets gave me enough to do with them what I intended for a Sensory Room I am donating to and to give some to my grandchildren, I did not necessarily need all 12, still, it is what I paid for and I felt I needed to say that if you expect or need all 6 because you are using them for gifts or prizes for a specific number of people, you may not end up with 6 that work perfectly.....some may be defective which is really too bad because if it was me selling these I would expect my equality control people to pick up on the defects and replace them to make sure the customer was going to be completely happy and satisfied. But that was the only thing and I did keep them and will probably just give the 4 grandchildren 4 of them and I'll gift 4 to the Sensory Room we work with, and then I'll keep the four defective ones at my house for family to mess with when they come for visits as the fidgets do work....just not as well as the non-defective fidgets. And I still give it five stars because the ones that do work are really cool and very nice and work perfectly. I will say

I got these for my toddler to use when potty training. He uses them constantly and we have put them in the diaper bag and in the car. They are so fun to use I dare say addictive. The material is thick so I have no worries about durability. I love the multi sensory experience they provide with the visual, tactile and auditory stimulation. They are small enough to include in a purse or backpack, you can't go wrong.

These have been a great calming fidget to carry around for my kid. They are relaxing to play with. Some definitely work better than others. The glitter gets stick in some of them making it hard to move around. I wish they were a little smaller and had a little more liquid to really swish everything around.

I bought these as small fidgets for my work as a pediatric occupational therapist. They come in a small box and each one offers a different pattern for pushing the items through. One or all would be easy to throw in a purse or bag for shopping with your child to keep their hands and minds busy. They would not withstand biting or poking with something pointy. You’d have to be a fairly strong child to twist them enough to pop them. Best for toddlers (that aren’t heavy mouthers), prekindergarten and kindergarten.

These are NOT mazes--there is only glitter inside. And, the colors are so dark that the glitter doesn't show up well. Moreover, they are small and the fluid movement is very limited. Very dissappointed

Used once and started leaking…

We bought these for a children's program at our local library and they are a hit with adults and kids! There's something soothing about watching the glittery material move from one end to the other. It reminds me of this toy I had as a kid where you pressed a button that sent a bunch of plastic hoops up into the water filled canister and tried to get them on a hook. But these little things are easy for little fingers to maneuver and durable enough for endless play by grown-ups. Great value for the cost.
