Descriptions for My Shop

Squishling’s Specialties
Hi welcome to Squishling’s Specialties, where you will find cute and fun toys for your baby and toddler. My designs are all inspired by my little girls who I call my squishlings. When I had my second girl I went crazy trying to find toys that were safe and fun for them to play with together. Wooden blocks wouldn’t do, as they are hard sharp projectiles in the hands of an 18 month old. Plastic stackers are fun but when a kid just wants to stack they don’t necessarily figure out that the big one goes on the bottom now do they? They take that small ring and throw it across the room (or at baby sister lol). I then decided to make toys for them that aren’t dangerous in little hands, that are bright, that are one of a kind. I made a few and let them play. Then my second lil girl came up to her first birthday and I decided to make most of her birthday gifts. I don’t know about you but I don’t like running to my children’s toy box every time there is a recall hoping that they hadn’t chewed lead off of one of their toys. So I got to work and made a set of blocks for her. I made them out of all different fabrics, I put letters and appliqués on them. I put bells in some, rattles in others and left some plain. Not only did she love them but so did my 2 year old. I enjoyed making them and want to pass all the fun toys I’ve made for my little squishlings on to you.



Squishling’s Soft Block Set
This set of soft blocks is great for stacking, for linking, for building up and falling onto, for tossing around, for touching, feeling and exploring. Some rattle, some ring, some crinkle and some are quiet. You can link them together and pretend they are a train, you can hook them onto the baby carrier or stroller. Your toddler can count with them. They can be personalized with your little ones initials or embellished with sweet little sayings or pictures. Let me know if there is something special you want and we will work together to make the perfect set.

Squishling’s Soft Block
This is a single block. But it can be so much fun. It can be a pillow for dolly, a house for a little animal. It can teach colors or shapes or textures like soft and rough. It can make noise or be a quite toy for church or the doctor’s office. These blocks are great for on the go toys. They have little tags that can be hooked to a link, which can then be linked to your carrier, stroller, diaper bag or even on your purse. Let me know if there is something special you want and we can work together to make the perfect block for your little one.
