If you have a teenager at home right now, chances are you’ve heard the word “NeeDoh” more times than you can count. And if you’re like me, you may have even found yourself driving all over town trying to track one down. *Cries in Spanish*
This isn’t the first time my son has had me driving around El Paso searching for something he saw on TikTok. He’s a momma’s boy so of course I’m gonna search for these toys with him, and even though it sounds ridiculous to do this for some silly little toy, for me and my son it isn’t. We have turned it into a bonding moment. We have fun driving around together, talking, wondering if we’ll find whatever we’re looking for at the next store and if not, oh well, it was still nice to hang with my teen!
At first I thought I was alone in looking for these NeeDoh things, but apparently I am not because every time I’m at these stores I see parents with their kids searching the same shelves me and my son are searching.

What are NeeDohs, and why are teens suddenly obsessed with them?
NeeDoh stress balls are colorful squishy toys filled with a soft, dough-like material that can be squeezed, stretched, and smushed in your hands. Once you release them, they slowly bounce back to their original shape, which is oddly satisfying…
