Squishmas Squishkins are small, tactile sensory tools designed to provide a variety of benefits, particularly during the holiday season, including:

• Tactile and Proprioceptive Input: The dough-like filling provides rich tactile input, while the act of squishing and manipulating the toys offers proprioceptive feedback. This combination can be calming and regulating for individuals with sensory processing sensitivities or those who benefit from fidgeting, especially during potentially overstimulating holiday events.
• Fine Motor Skill Development: Squeezing and manipulating the Squishmas Squishkins can strengthen hand muscles and improve fine motor control and dexterity. The small size encourages precise finger movements.
• Stress Reduction and Emotional Regulation: The act of squeezing and manipulating the toys can provide a calming and focusing effect, potentially reducing stress and anxiety associated with holiday gatherings or changes in routine. This can be helpful for individuals who benefit from fidgeting or those who experience stress related to sensory overload.
• Attention and Focus Modulation: The tactile input from the Squishmas Squishkins can provide a sensory anchor, potentially improving concentration and focus, particularly for individuals who benefit from sensory input to regulate their arousal levels. This can be especially helpful during times when sustained attention is required, like during holiday meals or activities.
• Social Interaction and Play: The festive designs can spark imaginative play and social interaction, especially when shared with others. They can be used as props in play-based therapy or as conversation starters during holiday gatherings.
• Visual Stimulation: The bright colors and holiday-themed designs provide visual stimulation, adding to the overall sensory experience.

The holiday theme and gingerbread house box packaging make these toys particularly relevant and engaging during the holiday season. Occupational Therapists can recommend them as part of a sensory toolkit for individuals who may experience sensory overload or anxiety during the holidays. The pack of four allows for sharing and can be used in group activities.
