The Foodie Squad Squishmallows might be my favorite, because who doesn’t want a squishy plush of their favorite food? This collection of 7.5-inch Squishmallows includes a chicken nugget, strawberry jam, a pineapple, cotton candy, a cookie, guacamole, a mango, and Hawaiian pizza.

Pick up a cuddly new stuffed animal from the Buddy Squad collection. Options include a guinea pig, a parakeet, a bulldog, a chameleon, a Siamese cat, a yellow snake, a koi fish, and a turtle. These 7.5-inch Squishmallows have fun features like a curly chameleon tail and a turtle shell.

Prehistoric creatures don’t have to be scaly and scary. In fact, they can be incredibly cute and cuddly! This Prehistoric Squishmallow line features a pterodactyl, a wooly mammoth, a dino, a sea dino, a T-rex, a saber-toothed tiger, a parasaurolophus, and a triceratops. The Prehistoric Squishmallows are 7.5 inches.

We’re big fans of the magical, yet somehow also real, narwhal in my house. If your kids are fans too, you can pick up a rainbow or purple tie-dye 7.5-inch narwhal Squishmallow. The rainbow narwhal, Ter, likes to relax with cucumber slices on its eyes and candles — a Squishmallow after my own heart.

If your kids like the excitement of opening a mystery bag, they’ll enjoy this Squooshems blind bag. Inside, they’ll find one of 10 small squishy figures. Squooshems are much smaller than the plush Squishmallow toys, and they feel similar to a stress ball.

Let a little fantasy into your home with the 7.5-inch Squshmallow Fantasy Squad line. Options include various dragons, bigfoot, a unicorn, a hippocorn, and a caticorn. I’m partial to the bigfoot one myself — look how cute it is!

Disney fans, rejoice! Five Below has six different 6.5-inch Lilo & Stitch Squishmallows, including one Lilo and five variations of Stitch. If you’ve always wanted a plush toy of Stitch dressed as Elvis or a pineapple, this one is just for you.

If your kids are ready to upgrade from friendship bracelets, then check out these friendship Squishmallows. Each 7.5-inch plush in this line has words written across its midsection like “best,” “friends,” “besties,” and “forever.” Styles include a bee, a ladybug, a cactus, an armadillo, a cow, a pig, a cheeseburger, and a french fry.

These teeny 3.5-inch Squishmallows are just the right size to clip onto a backpack or lunch box. The clip-on line includes a jellyfish, bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, a turtle, a beetle, and a banana. Although they’re smaller than other Squishmallows, they’re still just as plush and cuddly.
