Since 2017, Squishmallows have expanded past a child audience and attracted people of all ages, Kelly said. With so many animals, characters, colours, and sizes to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect cuddle buddy here. Maui, the pineapple Squishmallow, "doesn't like to be scared, so she tries to conquer her fears by trying new things.While children love Squishmallows, it's the Gen Z fans who have made the plush a true social-media phenomenon," Kelly said, adding that he also attributed some of the toy's boom to people seeking comfort during a difficult year. The Medium Lulu the Pineapple Squishmallow would work for a cuddle buddy when she wants a new plush friend. Maui comes in a second girly size, and her comparison to the same-sized Lulu shows some differences again. The Boy Pineapple Squishmallow, Maui, is a daring young guy with ambitions that match my son’s crazy ideas. Another notable difference is whether the pineapple Squishmallow is a special edition, such as the Hello Kitty choices.

Collectors are feeling the crunch of Squishmallows' increased popularity, saying that it makes the toys difficult to find.inch Large Squishmallows - experience the ultimate snuggling experience with our largest collection of Squishmallows. Lulu Squishmallow keeps getting bigger, and I dare you to watch your child’s eyes as she moves from the smaller versions to the larger ones. He also works well for little ones who want a special friend, maybe one that teaches them how to dress warmly for winter school days. Her mom was always hunting the latest toy trend, collecting Newborn dolls, and piling up to the ceiling with stuffed animals.

Squishmallows are sensory toys that provide smaller children with stimulation that helps them develop their motor skills, emotional resilience, and social skills. My son prefers the smaller versions mainly, but my daughter is still at the age where everything should be massive.

I was surprised to find the tiny differences between the sizes, versions, genders, and crossovers with other squads. Instead, my son would go with the Medium Maui the Boy Pineapple Squishmallow because he isn’t into giant plush and matches the character’s personality. Each Squishmallow has a name and a personality: My newest Squishmallow, Reina, is a "style icon" who loves to do hair. My advice for pineapple Squishmallows is to know the many options before picking one (or more) that suits your child. Sure owning 14 pineapples plush is a little over the top for some collectors and parents, but I’ll show you all the options so that you can pick one or a few of them.
