Using your Squishmallows is super easy. You can cuddle it on the couch while watching TV, use it as a pillow for a good night's sleep, or take it with you on trips. It's a great friend for all ages, especially those 3 and up. When it comes to maintenance, since it's made of machine - washable polyester fibers, you can just toss it in the washing machine when it gets dirty. However, make sure to use a gentle cycle to keep it soft and fluffy. And always check for any signs of wear and tear regularly to ensure it stays in good condition.
