Squishmallows – level 2

01-10-2024 15:00

Squishmallows are soft stuffed toys that first appeared in 2017 and already won many awards. They are popular because they are soft, cute, and easy to collect.

People can buy Squishmallows in over 55 countries. They like to collect them, and some say that Squishmallows help them feel better when they are sad or stressed. Each Squishmallow has its name and story, which helps people feel closer to them.

Some people collect Squishmallows to sell them for more money. Because some Squishmallows are harder to find, they can cost more than twice their original price. Even though the brand keeps growing, it is not clear if it will stay as popular in the future as it is now.

Difficult words: stuffed (a to with a soft filling inside), collect (to gather and keep), original (the first or earliest).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
