Trading squishes is one of the best parts of collecting. When two collectors both feel happy about a swap, that is a super trade. The golden rule is simple. Be kind, be fair, and make sure everyone is smiling.
Start by trading only with friends you know in real life, like a buddy from school or your neighbor. Always ask a grown up first. Keep your private stuff private. Never share your full name, your address, your school, or any passwords. A good trade is about squishes, not secrets.
Be honest about your plushies. If a squish has a tiny loved spot or a wobbly tag, say so with a smile. Take turns choosing. Nobody should feel pushed or rushed. If someone says no thanks, that is totally okay. There will always be more squishy adventures ahead.
After a happy swap, give your new friend a cheerful thank you. Then snuggle your new squish and give it a cozy welcome home. Happy trading, super pals!
