Planning

Our group decided on silicone squishies and 3D-printed fidgets for our product. The fidgets are reusable and fun to play with. Our hope is that our product will allow users to have fun, stay calm, and concentrate better.

A Note to Costumers

Our squishies are supposed to feel slightly sticky due to the type of silicone we use. Children 4 and under require adult supervision. Some products, such as fidget rings, pose choking hazards to small children. Stretch & Squish cares about the safety of all its costumers!
