The Squishies are designed to be squeezed. It works like a stress ball. Or for autistic kids. They need something to hold in their hands so they can concentrate better. But you can use them also for anxiety. They say with anxiety it calms you when you hold something cold. Then you can throw these squeezies in the freezer. Or you can put several drops of essential oil on it and hang it in your car.
