Evil Squirrel — stress ball

Why we love it

The Evil Squirrel is a stress ball with a cheeky face that's irresistible to squeeze. Press it and its eyes bulge out in a comical way, which makes kids laugh as much as it lets off steam. At just $2.99, it's the perfect little gift to take the edge off a stressful moment.

Beyond the fun, the squirrel does the real work of a sensory ball: pressure in the palm releases tension and keeps busy fingers occupied.

How to use it

Squeeze it hard when frustration builds, then release it slowly. That cycle helps refocus attention and burn off excess energy.

• For ADHD kids who fidget and need an outlet in their hands
• For anxious children who want a comforting, slightly silly object
• At home, in class, or in a waiting room to pass the time stress-free

The material is soft, stretchy and stands up to repeated squeezing, snapping back into shape without tearing. Suitable from age 3. Sold in a case of 12, great for stocking a calm corner or a reward box.
