Product Information

We’d love to see a nylon rope handle on the canister so that he can carry his Squigz more easily from room to room.

Squigz hold on with suction, a force that is caused by a difference in pressure inside the suction cup and outside. I think tower engineering challenges are so fun because it helps kids think about material science, structure, forces, bracing, material availability.

Stick them all over the table or floor to make an awesome obstacle course for cars, trucks, trains, and other toys! We purchased the Fat Brain Toys Squigz Starter Set so our expert reviewer could put it to the test with her son. Hotjar sets this cookie to detect a user's first pageview session, which is a True/False flag set by the cookie. Squigz work through suction, and the amount of suction it can, or can not, produce is dependant on the material it is trying to stick to. If you needed to wash and dry the set in a short time frame, hand drying each Squigz piece does feel tedious.

Our son is very into sticking individual Squigz on surfaces, but has some hesitation when it comes to making long chains or towers. Let them test the couch, book pages, book covers, various toys, the rug, the hardwood floor, game boxes, walls, windows, small objects, large objects, round objects…you get the idea.

If your Squigz aren't sticking together as well as expected, one remedy is to wash them with soapy water and make sure they're completely free of dust. We tasked our 3-year-old son with testing the Squigz Starter Set, an innovative suction-cup building set designed with fun in mind. I gave a larger set to my 5 year old for her birthday and, to keep the peace, a smaller set to her sister (2 1/2). This is a fun one, especially with Squigz which are not rigid like most building materials we create bridge challenges out of.Squigz can support cognitive development as children may engage with them in ways that interest them which may focus on scientific, mathematical or engineering elements. Our 3 year old grandson especially liked the white Squigz in the starter set that has multiple suction cups and looks like a ball. We take turns trying to see who can throw them and get them to stick on our sliding glass doors – that’s my personal fave ;). She began her career with a bachelor's degree in magazine journalism but quickly changed course to pursue graduate studies in occupational therapy. We practiced writing short sentences on marker boards, sticking Squigz to the marker board in between each word to show how much space to leave.

Stick Squigz on the side of a file cabinet, refrigerator, or mounted marker board and work on core strength by having kids pull them off in a kneeling position.

Challenge kids to weave their toys in and out of the obstacles – great for visual motor integration! I’ve never seen anything like that before’ but with Squigz, that is exactly what I thought when we received a Starter Set for review.

The fact that Squigz connect through suction opens up a whole slew of fun science porjects you can do with them. Willingly, they assemble to become rockets, vehicles, a cushion for the cat, jewelry… they thrill in uniting as a ginormous octopus or squid.
