What are color changing Shimmeez?

Shimmeez are color changing animals with reversible sequins. Ever hear of the kids asking for ‘mermaid pillows’? These are the same shimmer sequin concept on adorable animals. You will not be able to help yourself and ‘draw’ throw these animals.

There are 10 animals to choose from and they are all 2-toned so see how this works below and they come in 8″ and 14″ sizes.

What are Squeezamals?

Squeezamals are soft and squishy foam-stuffed animals. They are slow rising and make great little stress balls for adults even. I find myself taking my son’s Squeezamals animal ( Dax) and squishing him mindlessly. You know that weird satisfaction you get pressing your hand into a memory foam pad? That’s what playing with these feel like.

There are over 20 animals to choose from and they come in 3.5″ and 18″ sizes.

Below are the Alex D.I.Y. DoDats. They have a name and unique colors and your child has the skills needed to create these fun do-dads to hang from anywhere. The backpacks are a fun place to hang their creations.

These are a lot of fun for the sports fan! These Break Away Ballz are a 3-D puzzle in itself, but as you bounce it the break away happens and inside is a fun surprise!
