Welcome, new collector! Starting your very first squishy squad is so exciting, and there is no wrong way to do it. The best tip? Pick the ones that make your heart go squish. Maybe you love a sleepy fox, a rainbow axolotl, or a chubby little penguin. If it makes you smile, it belongs with you.
Here is a fun idea. Give each of your new friends a name and a tiny made-up story. A cloud plush could be the guardian of good dreams. A strawberry pal could run an imaginary smoothie stand. Building a story makes your collection feel extra special and totally yours.
Start small and go slow. You do not need a giant squad to have fun. Even one or two cozy buddies can bring a lot of joy. Try keeping them in a comfy spot, like a soft shelf or a snuggly basket, so they stay happy and clean.
Most of all, remember that collecting is about fun, kindness, and imagination. Trade nicely, share stories with friends, and enjoy every squishy step. Welcome to the squad!
