In their words
“My child was playing with Squigz at daycare so I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to have some at my house. It sticks to almost any surface and they reallllly stick well! We stick them in random places (bathroom, kitchen, glass patio door) and she loves finding them. She sticks literally everything in her mouth so these squigz are perfect!”

“Took forever to get here and broke super easily. Really dangerous for little kids. One of the suctions popped right off (perfect size to choke on) and left a wire exposed.”
