Gummy Bear Squishy

A gummy bear the size of your palm, and just as squashy. Translucent jelly body, glossy finish, arms and legs that squash flat and slowly come back. It looks convincingly like confectionery until you pick it up and it does not give the way sweets do.

Limbs Make It a Better Fidget

The appeal is that different parts behave differently. The body compresses evenly, but the arms, legs and ears squash almost flat and recover slowly — so you can work around a single bear for a long time without repeating the same squeeze.

Translucent and Glossy

Light passes straight through, which is why a row of these on a windowsill or a lit shelf reads as jewel-coloured. They photograph better than almost anything else in the range, and against a dark desk they look like real sweets.

The 4-Piece Pack

Pink, yellow, purple and blue individually, or the full set of four. The pack is the obvious buy — the colours only really work lined up together, and it costs noticeably less per bear.

Care and When to Stop Using It

Do not bite, puncture, twist or overstretch the skin. The gel inside is sealed and non-toxic, but a torn skin cannot be repaired and the toy should be thrown away rather than patched. Keep it away from sharp objects, radiators and direct sunlight, and wipe it with a barely damp cloth rather than soaking it. If the surface ever turns greasy instead of dry, retire it.

Arms and ears are the thinnest parts — squash them rather than pulling them.
