When I’m shopping Five Below with kids, squishy dumplings turn the trip into a treasure hunt. These three must-haves bring the playful dumpling theme kids love to seek out.
1. RMS Crazy Fun Mystery Squishy Dumpling Blind Box (Standard/Regular Size) – $5.00
The classic mystery dumpling is the one I’d hunt for first, especially with a kid who enjoys the reveal as much as the toy. It comes in bamboo steamer packaging, measures about 4 inches, and may hide a glitter chase among the cute-faced designs.
Standout Features: Its slow-rise squish gives little hands a satisfying squeeze before it gradually returns to shape. Rarity tiers turn choosing a package into a real treasure hunt rather than a routine toy-aisle stop.
Best For: It suits collectors and sensory-toy kids who genuinely enjoy surprises. Set a one-box limit beforehand if duplicates could cause disappointment.
Parting Thoughts: For the full Five Below dumpling-hunt experience, this is the essential first pick.
2. RMS Crazy Fun Super Mega Jumbo Mystery Squishy Bun Dumpling – $15.00
Spotting this roughly 12-inch jumbo dumpling feels like finding the boss level of the display. At approximately $15.00, it costs considerably more than the standard version, so I’d save it for a birthday or a particularly committed collector.
Standout Features: The oversized build is what separates it from the smaller mystery toys and makes it substantial enough to serve as a display piece. The mystery reveal can include glitter or galaxy variants, adding a chase element to the larger format.
Best For: This works best for kids who want one enormous squishy rather than several little collectibles. Check the toy and front displays, where the larger package may be easier to shelve.
Parting Thoughts: Big-dumpling devotees will adore the spectacle, while casual hunters can comfortably skip the higher-priced splurge.
3. Dumpling Squashies 3-Count – $5.00
For siblings, playdates, or party favors, this three-count set avoids the tension of deciding who gets the only dumpling. All three squishy dumpling toys are visible as a ready-made group, so the fun can start without a blind-box reveal.
Standout Features: Three dumpling-shaped sensory toys come together in one pack for $5.00. The multipack format provides immediate variety and makes sharing much simpler than opening a single mystery collectible.
Best For: Younger kids and families wanting several stress-relief toys will get the most practical use from this set. Split the trio among backpacks or activity areas so a squishy is close when needed.
Parting Thoughts: The hunt is less dramatic here, but the extra play value makes this trio an honest little winner.
