The suction pieces are bigger and easier for smaller children to handle, making this an ideal gift for any [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omnicompatible-wooden-bricks) fan who wants to stretch their imagination even further. The Squigz suction toys are made from high quality silicon rubber, they come in a multitude of bright colors and they stick to any non-porous surface including each other. Stick one or two on the table, then start building on to your base to create a wild and wacky rubber tower. Then pull them apart and build again. These suction toys are great for building fine motor skills and encouraging [sensory stimulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incredible-group) and playful experimentation. The Squigz construction set makes a fantastic gift for the little ones and is available in a 24-piece starter set and a 50-piece deluxe set. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Suction Construction Toys:** Suction toys are disrupting the construction toy industry by providing a unique alternative to snap-together pieces. - **Big Suction Pieces:** The use of bigger suction pieces in construction toys provides an opportunity to cater to smaller children who may find snap-together pieces difficult to handle. - **Sensory Stimulation and Fine Motor Skills:** Incorporating sensory stimulation and fine motor skill development into construction toys is a growing trend in the industry. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers can explore the production of suction toys as a disruptive innovation in the construction toy market. - **Child Development:** The use of suction toys in child development programs offers a unique approach to building fine motor skills and encouraging sensory stimulation. - **Educational Supplies:** Educational suppliers can incorporate suction construction toys into their product offerings to provide hands-on learning experiences for children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Life-Sized Toy Construction Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funphix.md) - [Magnetic Building Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magna-tiles.md) - [Squishable Construction Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squishmallows-x-bldr.md) - [Developmental Bath Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-toy-collection.md) - [Digital Magnetic Toy Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenki-spliced-magnetic-attraction-toy.md) - [DIY Squishy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elmers-squishies.md) - [Combination Building Block Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omnicompatible-wooden-bricks.md) - [Human-Shaped Puzzle Bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souper-connect.md) - [Creative STEM-Based Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jitterygit.md)
