Manhatten Toys Skwish Review Summary

The Manhattan Toys Skwish is a wonderful toy alternative to cartoon characters, noisy sounds, flashing lights and batteries. Designed for babies age birth to 12 months, it is enjoyed equally by young toddlers too. “The Skwish is easy to grip and is great colors for a newborn baby (black and primary!) “ “The skwish has interesting colors and textures for baby to hold. The nature of its design allows an older baby to manipulate it and practice coordination.” It is quiet, safe, flexible and easily taken to grandparents or restaurants. Visiting play groups all desire this toy most often and day care and therapists need more than one for their class or office, it is such a popular item. It is a simple toy, classical, old-fashioned fun that encourages coordination and creativity. Interested in other learning toy for gifts or play? Try visiting Best of Learning Toys.

The Skwish is a must have baby toy!

2007

My kids absolutely loved the Skwish toy from birth until about age 2. — A friend of ours that is a "mad scientist" (really!) bought the toy for us when our son was born. I chalked it up to being molecular and therefore his way of reminding us that we need to focus on complicated math, chemistry and physics with our kids. (I know, this is heavy!) — What I didnt realize is that my son would favor this toy over all others right from the beginning. It was truly love at fist sight. From the second he could grab, he would grab the Skwish. He would… read full review »

Hours of baby fun!

This toy is a must have for all parents of infants (1-12months). It is small and simple. My son has lots of toys yet this is his favorite. He played with one at his daycare- when we had to switch daycares I decided to buy him one. I looked online at the Manhatten toy website and went to all the local stores that carry that toy line. I found that none of the stores had the toy instock. Most had the skwish on order, but could not keep on hand. — My son lays on his back or sits holding this for long periods of time. He is now teething and this is the only comfort! It when shaken makes a… read full review »

Simple old-fashioned fun

Love buying toys, mom of boy and girl, avoiding noisy toys

DEC

2007

I used to work in a small independent toystore, and this toy was very popular, it was always flying off the shelves. However, I was a bit skeptical. It just didn't look like very much fun. At the time, my twins were 9 months old. I decided to buy one for them, since it was such a popular item at the store. Not to mention, that it is not plastic and does not make annoying sounds! Wow, I couldn't have been more wrong about the funness of this toy! My twins loved it so much, I had to buy two of them. They are now 18… read full review »

I am a occupational therapist for children with developmental and other disabilities. I love this toy because there is nothing electronic about it, which seems to be so rare these days. I have a two year old, but I also work with several babies who have trouble holding anything in their hands independently. But, they can all hold this! Once they get it in their hands, they love to shake it because it makes nice, calm "tinkeling" sounds. I will be getting one for baby number two of my own next year, for… read full review »

Awesome toy without cartoon characters splashed all over it

The sqwish is a toy that I fell in love with as soon as I saw it. I am an avid catalog shopper as well as a mom of three. I am a big fan of wooden learning toys, especially for babies. The sqwish has interesting colors and textures for baby to hold. The nature of its design allows an older baby to manipulate it and practice coordination. I wasn't worried about the kids chewing on it & they took it everywhere! It is a great gift for a any new mom, especially when you're not sure what to get. —… read full review »

I bought one of these for my daughter at a yard sale when she picked it up and didn't want to put it down. She's 22mos old now and played with it a ton from the age of about 6 months on. She is starting to outgrow it now but other kids often pick it up and play with it when they visit. It's not loud so it was great for plane trips, restaurants,… read full review »

We got this as a gift before Emily was even born, and she's been playing with it happily ever since! It's squishy, and can also be used as a pseudo-rattle, because the moveable beads make noise when you shake it. I also like that Emily can chew on the wooden beads, and the paint does not chip or flake. It's easily portable, and she loves… read full review »

I found this toy several years ago and first used in my office. As a counselor, I found that all of my clients, of all ages, would always pick it up and play with it and it seemed that they would open up more during each session. My kids also loved it and could spend hours using their imagination with it. Great… read full review »

This is just an all around great toy. My 8 month old Loves it, always has, super easy for his teeny fingers to grab ahold of. Also the round knobs are easy to chew on when teething. That being said, my 6 year old loves to grab it and shake it, twist it, flatten it out, etc. Its just a great fun flexible little toy. You'll Love… read full review »
