Evidence and safety note
Some people find repetitive hand activity calming, but research on squishy toys specifically is limited. For evidence-based context, see NCCIH overview of relaxation techniques and NIMH guidance on anxiety disorders. A squishy is a toy or comfort aid, not a substitute for professional diagnosis, therapy, medication, or urgent care. If symptoms cause distress, injury, or disruption, contact a qualified health professional.
