A sticky squish ball from Crayola, a glitter-filled Squishmallows gel, a palm-size plush cat and a basket of plush Cheez-It crackers are among the toys climbing Amazon's Toys & Games Best Sellers list this week. The No. 1 spot on the morning of Oct. 26 belonged to Schylling's NeeDoh Nice Cube Swirl, which Amazon showed as currently unavailable. Here's what's selling, with ranks and prices as checked on Amazon's product pages on Oct. 26, 2026, and short pros and cons for each.
1. Crayola Globbles: Sticky Squish Balls (No. 17 in Toys & Games)
Globbles are squishy balls you can stick, stack, squish and sling. Crayola says they don't leave a sticky residue and that washing with soap and water brings the stickiness back. The 6-count pack ($11.99) was No. 17 in all of Toys & Games and No. 8 in Squeeze Toys on Oct. 26, with more than 21,000 ratings and a "30K+ bought in past month" note. The 16-count pack sells for $19.59. Amazon lists the manufacturer's age as 4 years and up, and the listing carries a choking warning (small ball, not for children under 3) and a do-not-heat-or-microwave warning.
Pros: Cheap stocking stuffer; washable and reusable; the 16-pack works for classroom or party favors
Cons: Small balls are a choking hazard for younger siblings; sticky toys pick up lint and need washing

2. Slimygloop Squishmallows Gelli Gels (No. 6 in Toys & Games)
Horizon Group USA's Slimygloop Gelli Gels put slow-flow glitter inside a squeezable gel shaped like a Squishmallow; the listing says it bounces back to its shape after stretching. The blue version ($8.67) was No. 6 in Toys & Games and No. 4 in Squeeze Toys on Oct. 26, with a "10K+ bought in past month" note. It also comes in pink and purple. Manufacturer's age: 4 years and up; the page warns not to heat or microwave it.
Pros: Under $9; ties into the Squishmallows brand kids already collect; three colors
Cons: Glitter gels can leak if punctured; 11% of its 1,137 ratings are one star
3. Aurora Mini Flopsie 8-Inch Ginger Cat (No. 1 in Stuffed Animals)
Aurora's Mini Flopsie Ginger Cat is an 8-inch, tummy-lying plush cat with bean pellets for weight. At $9.78 it was No. 1 in Stuffed Animals & Teddy Bears and No. 20 in all of Toys & Games on Oct. 26, with nearly 76,000 ratings. Manufacturer's age: 3 years and up, with a small-parts choking warning on the page.
Pros: Long track record (about 76,000 ratings, 87% five-star); under $10; small enough for travel
Cons: Bean pellets make it unsuitable for babies and toddlers; small at about 8 inches
4. Emotional Support Pals Cheez-It and NFL Buffalo Bills (No. 2 in Stuffed Animals & Plush)
Relatable's Emotional Support Pals are sets of five small plush with faces, sold in a plush container. The Cheez-It set ($16.99) has five plush crackers in a basket and was No. 2 in Stuffed Animals & Plush Toys and No. 29 in Toys & Games on Oct. 26, with more than 8,800 ratings. Manufacturer's age: 3 years and up. For football fans, the Amazon-exclusive NFL Buffalo Bills set ($16.99) has five plush footballs and was No. 2 in Plush Figure Toys; its page lists no age grade.
Pros: Funny gift for teens and adults as well as kids; five plush per set; NFL version adds a team angle
Cons: $16.99 for small plush; the Bills set has only about 200 ratings and no listed age grade
5. Color Stack Challenge (No. 1 in Stacking Games)
Also from Relatable, Color Stack Challenge is a speed puzzle game: players draw a challenge card, then race to sort colored rings on their rack to match it, in easy or hard mode, or solo. The box has 2 racks, 80 rings and 50 challenge cards. At $11.67 (list $19.99) it was No. 1 in Stacking Games and No. 21 in Toys & Games on Oct. 26, with a "20K+ bought in past month" note. Manufacturer's age: 6 years and up.
Pros: Plays solo or head-to-head; quick rounds; 42% off list at check time
Cons: Only two racks, so it's a two-player game; 80 small rings to keep track of
