Schylling Needoh Nice Cube Sensory Toy with a Super Solid Squish - Colors May Vary 3 Pack

Nice. Different tensions in each one. The blue one is very hard compared to the others, but I was happy that they all require different pressures to squeeze. The other 2 are fairly similar, but there is still a difference. From these 2 to the blue tension there is a sudden, big difference. They fit in the hand nicely and I also like the fact that they are textured.

Let us begin with the negatives, because there are some, and you should know about them going in. First of all, do not become attached to any one particular dream drop. Or Nice Cube. Pretty much any of this sort of toy. I asked the Google AI how long these last, and it said that the two ends of the spectrum are two hours to a year. If you are particularly aggressive in your treatment of this product, don't expect it to last long. Such is the nature of things, and I would say that it is a problem endemic to the nature of the manufacturing process, one which is unlikely to see resolution any time soon. These look nice, and other people will want to play with them from time to time. Sometimes small people will want to play with them. Sometimes small people do not enjoy being denied the opportunity to play with them. Sometimes small people get very upset when they don't listen to you and get these taken away from them. A fellow reviewer on this product said their child got third degree burns from one of these exploding. I think we might be missing some extra steps, such as heating the contents to high temperatures. Have you ever made candy before? Do you stick your hand inside a pot of boiling sugar? No. You don't. Dream Drops and Nice Cubes contain what amounts to sugar inside them (and apparently sometimes PVA glue). I don't think the manufacturer is particularly liable for someone microwaving one of these and having it burst on them. If your child is not smart enough to know not to do this, you as the parent should not be giving them access to this toy. There are lots of ways people can get smarter, and I don't think this particular experience is one I want for my kids. As a note, this same company makes Lava Lamps, and they specifically tell you that those things get really freaking hot. They don't warn you that Nice Cubes and Dream Drops get hot because during the envisioned act of playing with them, they do not get hot. They even market putting them in the freezer (particularly with the thing that rhymes with "ice cube"), which is the opposite of getting hot. They DO tell you not to give these to small children because the plug in the bottom might get ripped out and go down someone's gullet. As you might notice, I haven't taken any stars off for these negatives. Partly this is because a lot of things people consider negative about these are tied to a lack of information or common sense. Partly, having the knowledge that these things won't last too long shifted my expectations and I felt that it was worth the price. These things are really nice. I like squeezing them, and they feel like just about the exact right size. I suspect after I've gone through a few of them I'll be able to better understand their limitations and avoid premature failure. Until then, I plan on getting a few every month or so and rationing them out. They provide a pleasant tactile experience, and a generally innocuous avenue to stimming. They look really cute as well. I would love to see more colors in the future. My first Dream Drop lasted about a week before springing a leak, and I would like to share some observations: 1. The contents are listed as "100% Malt Extract" which I understand to mean that it is essentially sugar syrup that you SHOULD NOT EAT. It is really sticky. It does not bond much with the rubber outer shell of the Dream Drop, so once the plug has lost sealing integrity it will not magically close back up. 2. I put the gooey innards on my garden. There is some question as to whether this is a good idea or not. Next time I will strain out the sparkles. 3. I saved the rubber shell and splash. I collect dice, and can easily fit two standard-sized DND 7-dice sets inside one of these, and the splash makes an attractive base for them. IN CONCLUSION: With proper care and gentle handling, these can last awhile. Even if they do not, they help reduce stress and are a largely innocuous stimming tool that could be used as an impromptu blackjack in a pinch (which I do not in any way advocate).

My students LOVE these and I have found that I do to, to the point where I needed to order more. Given that they are like any other silicone based squishy toy out there, they are not immune to injury, so I purchased some silicone glue for accidents. Of all the squishier I have tried, these are the most durable and satisfying. The gumdrop ones have the extra layer of bumps, which enhances the sensory stimulation. They stiffen in cooler temperatures, and this is great when we arrive in the morning and have to squeeze harder as they soften throughout the day. The colors are pretty and not too much, imitating a standard gumdrop. They are pricey for fidgets, but I figure it is for the quality guarantee over the others. These present as the higher end of fidget squishies, much like Anker for electronics, and like Anker, they don’t disappoint.

I have had such bad experiences with squishies, but these are still whole after a week, which is good going. I would buy again. Would have been nice to have a mix of colours. The splash shaped bit is detachable and can be used as a stand.

This is the one to get if you have hands stronger than a 10 year old. The cube one was too soft for me.

Perfect for keeping your hands busy! They are relaxing and perfect for helping release energy and anxiety! Pretty colors! Would buy as a gift for employees and friends!
