Mini Squishmallows are small-sized Squishmallow toys sold under the company’s sub-brand, “Squishville.”
What are they? What are the best mini Squishmallow sets you can buy? What can you do with these Squishmallows? Our guide covers all these topics and more.
So, without wasting any more time, let’s dive right in.
About Squishmallow Brand
Created by the Kellytoy company, Squishmallow is a line of plush toys launched in 2017. They are usually marked by their round shape and come in various sizes, colors, patterns, outfits, textures, and characters.
Wondering where the inspiration behind Squishmallow came from? Well, it’s none other than the land of Kawaii Plush Toys, Japan. Jonathan Kelly, the founder, stated that he came up with the idea to create his own line of toys when he visited Japan and saw a variety of plush toys.
Then, he and his team spent several months creating a toy that replicated the “soft, cute, and kawaii” nature of Japanese plush toys. This gave birth to Squishmallows in 2017. And the rest, as they say, is history!

Buying Guide: Things To Consider When Buying Mini Squishmallow Sets
We get it; buying Squishmallow sets online or offline is not rocket science. You head over to any reputable platform, pick a Squishmallow in your favorite animal or color, and add it to your cart. Finally, make your payment and wait for your cuddly companion to arrive in a few days!
However, there are a few things you might want to re-consider when buying these squishy creations, such as:
Cost
The biggest thing you want to factor in when shopping for mini Squishmallows is their price. While each pack is priced reasonably at approximately $29, remember mini Squishmallows can lead to unexpectedly high expenses, especially for dedicated collectors.
This is particularly true with the Mystery boxes, where individuals often continue buying box after box in search of that elusive Squishmallow missing from their collection. As a result, expenses can accumulate rapidly.
Hence, it would be wise to make a budget each month if you’re serious about these collectible items. And make it a point to stick by it.
Buy Only From Genuine Squishmallow Sellers
Given the popularity of these toys, manufacturers are popping up left and right advertising knock-off Squishmallows as originals. So, make sure to buy only from genuine online retailers and stores.
Popular stores like CVS, Claire’s, Target, Walmart, Costco, Kroger, and Toy City sell genuine Squishmallows.
When it comes to online platforms, you need to be even more careful. That’s because even giant eCommerce platforms like Amazon tend to advertise fake Squishmallows. The solution? Ensure the seller is Squishmallow (or Kelly Toy).
Games You Can Play With Mini Squishmallows
Nowadays, you can see many social media influencers creating their own cute games involving mini Squishmallows. Moreover, some traditional toy games like treasure hunts or pretend play can be enjoyed with these miniature plushies. Here are some of our favorites:
Mini Claw Machine
If you have the budget, invest in a mini claw machine. You can find it at a local toy store or even online.
All you have to do is fill it with your mini Squishmallow collections and take turns with friends to try and grab them with the claw.
You can even divide contestants into two groups. Next, assign points to the Squishmallows based on their colors, rarity, or character. This scoring system can add a competitive twist to your weekly game nights.
Squishmallow Scavenger Hunt
Who can say no to a family scavenger hunt party? Next time you host it, consider incorporating a Squishmallow-themed scavenger hunt for your friends and family. This game can also be a hit among kids.
Hot Potato With Mini Squishmallows
Hot Potato is a classic party game popular among children and adults. All players gather in a circle and toss a small potato to each other while the music plays. And when the music stops, the player holding the Potato is eliminated.
Applying the same rules, you can play Hot Potato with mini Squishmallows too!
