Squinkies, Squinkies, I have Squinkes! Do you? If you want them for Christmas, you better get ’em soon!
Everywhere I look for the past few months, I hear about Squinkies. What’s up?
I so wanted to check them out. As a Pre-K teacher, Girl Scout leader, Youth Group Mentor, and Sunday School teacher- I see a LOT of kids. And so many of them had, or wanted- Squinkes!
I was sent 3 Bubble Packs to review. Each pack had 16 “squishy, squashy” Squinkies in them, 4 of which are “mystery Squinkies”- where you can’t see them, haha).

OK, first let me say this- I think these things are bananas, LOL. They are tiny, they are in little gumball-things, they seem like they will be lost every 5 seconds. But every. SINGLE. kid. HAS. to. have. SQUINKES.
I brought one pack to the Pre-K on a “light” day, and gave each kid one. (I was a very popular lady that day. And yes, I did ask parents if they were cool with that, first.) The kids went CRAZY, they were totally exited. One girl actually shook with excitement and started yelling ” I wanted a squashy! I wanted a squashy! How did you even know????” LOL it was cute. They have brought them in almost every day since, and I have had to regulate them to staying in the lunchboxes because they were getting lost.
I also brought a pack into the Youth Group, and gave them out there. The kids were so happy to have Squinkes- most of them had been wanting them, and were excited to get some of thier own (again, I sent an email to moms and dads asking if they were cool with that first).
I was really happy to be able to make so many kids happy, and in turn need to say “Thank You” to Squinkies, who gave me the Bubble Packs to begin with.

(I’m awful, and kept the third pack to split between Little Man and Kamikaze. I should have shared with the troop too, but they really wanted to keep that pack, and I couldn’t say no.)
Each Surprize Inside Bubble Pack (SRP $9.99) includes 16 collectible “squooshy” Squinkies, including four hidden “surprise” Squinkies, to start or add to a collection. Each lovable little squishy, squooshy and squashy Squinkie is individually packed in its own toy bubble! These new Bubble Packs can be found at major retailers including Walmart, Target, Toys R Us and www.amazon.com.
