At Toy Barn, our Squish & Stretch Toy collection (available in bulk) delivers not only fun—but tangible benefits. Here's everything you need to know about these popular sensory toys and why they’re ideal for your classroom, event, or therapy toolkit:


What Are Squish & Stretch Toys?

These are tactile toys made from durable, squeezable materials designed to be pinched, stretched, and squished repeatedly—then spring back to shape. At Toy Barn we offer everything from:

  • Themed figures (penguins, pineapples, animals)

  • Mini bead-filled balls (like rubber duckies!)

  • Sticky or foam-bead orbs

  • Slow-rise foam squishies

Available in bulk cases of 72–288 units, they’re perfect for stress relief, party favors, or classroom calm-down kits.


? 5 Key Benefits of Squish & Stretch Toys

    Squeezing releases endorphins and provides tactile comfort—helping reduce anxiety and promote relaxation .

  2. Improved Focus & Regulation
    Fidgeting can aid concentration—perfect for kids with ADHD or sensory-processing needs 

  3. Fine Motor Skill Development
    Manipulating these toys strengthens hand/finger muscles and coordination—great for early childhood education 

  4. Inclusive for All Abilities
    Their soft materials are safe, non-toxic, and work well for individuals on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, or sensory sensitivities
