Stretch, squeeze, and get creative with Dr Squish Putties

The world is loving Dr Squish Putties, and in South Africa the fun, squishy, sciencey brand is bringing delight to both children and adults. In a world of distractions and fast-paced living, finding something tactile and creative is just the perfect playful fun required and Dr Squish Putties deliver exactly that. The range consists of a selection of colourful, shimmering, and oh-so-satisfying putty characters that offer an escape into the world of sensory play.

Tactile fun

From vibrant swirls to satisfying textures, Dr Squish Putties are more than just pretty, they're designed to be stretched, pulled, squished, shaped, and collected. They’re a hit with kids who enjoy fidgety fun, because they’re a great way to channel restless energy in a positive way.

What makes them particularly special is their open-ended nature. There’s no “right” way to play, once you’ve created your character and added the accessories, from there it’s just pure imagination. Kids can mould shapes, mix colours, create their own mini galaxies, or simply enjoy the hypnotic feel of slow stretching and popping bubbles.

“With Dr Squish’s brand personality which encompasses playfulness, curiosity, and a bit of science, the putties are toys that encourages learning through hands-on exploration. The range taps into something both timeless and timely - squishy, stretchy textures in a high-quality, colourful format,” says Philip Galliford, spokesperson for Solarpop.

Dr Squish Putties are ideal gifts

Ideal for gift bags, as stocking fillers and as classroom rewards, Dr Squish Putties offer a unique mix of play and mindfulness. Whether you’re five or fifty, there’s something deeply satisfying about letting your fingers explore a swirl of colourful putty.

Each putty comes in a tin, which protects it and keeps it soft. Once your child has finished playing, the putty goes back into the tin, ready for next time.
