Both adults and children face plenty of troubles related to attention, emotions, worries, and stress nowadays. Here are the surprising benefits this toy can give you: Boost Focus, Memory, and Attention With a squishy toy as a background stimulus, children tend to pay attention more. These types of toys make your brain engage in a repetitive action that allows the rest of your attention to be used elsewhere, allowing the user to stay in focus. The toys also activate the sense of touch, sight, and smell Manage Anxiety and Emotional Issues Squishy toys help you release your intense emotions (e.g., anger, happiness, sadness). When you’re in need of a dose for calmness, you can always reach out to your squishy toy to manage your emotions, particularly for people with special needs such as kids with autism or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Relieve Stress The rhythmic, repetitive actions of handling a squishy toy stimulate the production of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine then floods the reward and pleasure centers of the brain. If you’re doing a stressful activity or if you’ve been too exhausted with work, you can hold on to your squishy toy. Somehow, it can relieve your stress and give you pleasure. Good for All Ages Children are not the only ones who can use squishy toys. Adults can also enjoy the same benefits that children do. These toys can give adults an escape from their current problems and bring out the child inside them. Inexpensive and Comes in Variety Squishy toys are not at all expensive, which is why some adults and children collect them. They are designed to be handy so that you can bring them anywhere. They also come in a variety of shapes and sizes to choose from. Squishy toys are more than just pretty little things. They serve a lot of functions that are good for your physical and mental health.
