Squigz, suction cup toys, the ultimate in two-handed play

Squigz: Suction cups are, next to magnets, the ultimate two-handed toy.

The suction cup principle - fixed

When two suction cups are pressed together, a small vacuum is created that holds the two firmly together. That's all you need to build. In addition, this principle also works on any smooth surface, which makes this toy very versatile. There are no limits to your imagination.

The suction cup principle – loose

Super fun side effect of this mini vacuum is, when the two are pulled apart again, a POP! sound is created. This can be repeated as often as necessary, to the great joy of hands and ears, until…..

Motor skills toys

This toy rightly has a permanent place in my webshop with motor skills toys. In a new way, with pleasant-feeling silicone pieces, work on fine motor skills. Also use them in the bath, on glass or mirror, on a large surface or, like we do here, in a small playpen. In this way, sensorimotor skills are stimulated at the same time. The senses are involved in movement play.

24 pieces - officially called: starter set


This is just a great package with enough suction cups to play nicely. Squigz, as the suction cups are called by FatBrainToys, have different shapes with suction cups. This set consists of:
2 Orange Pips, 8 Blue Doodles, 4 Green Grippities, 4 Purple Yoinks, 2 Yellow Skooches, 2 Red Gobnobs, 1 Dark Blue Wonkity, 1 White Zorbit
How about learning these English colors and crazy names by heart with your child? “Can I have a blue doodles please?”

50 pieces - the deluxe set

Really a lot of suction cup Squigz for a group of children for example. But if this is your child's favorite toy, it will be just enough to build what he has in mind. Construction toys, and this certainly is, become more fun the more pieces you have. Compare it to a box of the well-known square building blocks. Only when you have a large number of them can you let your imagination run wild.

Squigz toobz


An extension of the Squigz, but certainly also usable as an independent packaging. New here are the long connecting pieces, which make artworks larger and wobbly. The long pieces are flexible so that building around the corner is also possible. 12 of these long Toobz pieces in two different lengths are combined in this set with 6 Squigz pieces.

Mini Squigz


40% smaller, the makers have made these mini suction cups. From the moment you get your hands on this little one, you won't be able to stop playing with it. Fine motor skills will be taken to a new level with this toy. Fidgeting, regulating force and building while you put your senses of feeling and hearing into motion.
New shapes and colours complete the 75-piece set.

Squigz 2.0

A new shape, namely, also on the belly of the figures that look like dolls is a circle on which a suction cup can be stuck. In terms of dimensions, these fit perfectly with the normal Squigz, which creates even more possibilities.

Pip Squigz


Fortunately, the makers at FatBrainToys have also thought of the youngest. A set of 3 giant suction cups, for first discovery games and experiments. Endless discoveries, turning and rolling. Wonderfully large suction cups for small hands.
