Squirmles are cute and very soft pets on a string. They are flimsy, puffy, rope-centered pipe cleaners on a string with a small paper spool. Here is what you do to make it work. First you unwind the spool so the string is about five to eight inches long. Then, you tuck the spool into your belt or pocket. Now, you can perform various tricks by moving your waist and your hands to make your squirmle move. I would definitely recommend squirmles to anyone who loves to fool your friends and just want to have a good time. By the way, I even fooled a couple of friends myself!
