The lovely @luna-stims has been chatting with me and provided a font of stim toy care and sourcing wisdom, and she’s kindly allowed me to share her advice with everyone.

Mochi Squishies

I dust mine with cornstarch to keep the dust away and it keeps them feeling silky smooth!! It needs to be reapplied sometimes, especially if my hands are damp, but cornstarch is cheap and readily available and unscented. I'm not sure if it'll be visible on darker squishies because I have the white seal squishy.

Note for international folks: cornstarch may be sold as cornflour. Don’t worry: they’re the same product. And I do need to try this, because washing my mochi chick has made almost no difference to the dust.

Orbeez/Water Beads/Water Marbles

When soaking orbeez/water beads, they're more durable if you only soak them for a small portion of the time and take them out while they're still wrinkly. They'll smooth out after a little while and they feel more like the durable gel beads in eye masks and stuff, and they're much harder to crush. They have more "bounce" when they're not fully soaked. They won't be as big but it's worth it to not accidentally crush them.

This is super useful given that the larger orbeez are pretty fragile! Also useful for anyone looking to try the phone case DIY and is worried about crushing the orbeez when a phone is placed in a pocket or bag.

Puffer Caterpillars

Those stretchy caterpillars (image example here) are also in the Easter basket stuffers at Walmart right now! I've never seen them in Walmart before, only in the Easter things. They're available in pastel purple-pink and orange.

I wish our Easter sections had toys like this. US folks should definitely check this out.

Thank you so much for all your information. I really love the willingness of folks in the stim community to help and share!
