Why we LOVE this product!
Squigz have become a modern classic, and it's easy to see why. They're a building toy that works on almost any smooth surface, so kids build on windows, bathtubs and tables, and the POP when they pull apart is endlessly satisfying.
That tactile, sensory quality makes them a favorite for calm-down corners and kids who need to keep their hands busy.
Two things to weigh: the 50-piece set is pricey, and smaller pieces mean they're not for under-3s. As a long-lasting, open-ended toy, they're well worth it.

About
Fat Brain Toys
Fat Brain Toys was founded in 2002 by husband-and-wife team Mark and Karen Carson in Elkhorn, Nebraska. The idea grew out of a search for more toys to complement a magnetic construction set their son Adam received for his tenth birthday. Finding the selection online limited, the family saw an opportunity to help parents discover a wider variety of interesting, thoughtfully designed toys.
What began as a small home-based business grew into an established toy company with its own range of products, alongside toys selected from other innovative makers. Fat Brain Toys developed a reputation for offering alternatives to conventional mass-market toys, with an emphasis on products that encourage children to explore, experiment, build, and solve problems.
The company's philosophy centers on the idea that play can be both enjoyable and enriching. Its collection spans everything from early-learning toys and sensory playthings to construction sets, puzzles, and challenging games. Family involvement has remained part of its story, with the next generation contributing to product design and innovation.
Fat Brain Toys aims to make discovering great toys easier for families while encouraging children to develop curiosity, creativity, and confidence through play.
