Manhattan Toy Skwish Classic

The Skwish has been around since 1986 and there’s a reason. It’s a small wooden frame strung with elastic and beads — you grip it, it squishes, you let go, it pops back. For a one-year-old it’s a teether, a cause-and-effect demonstration, and a hand-strengthener all at once. Tom’s daughter took hers to bed for two years.
