Build-a-Slither
It’s no secret that we love these adorable little slither.io toys from BonkersToys! When we found out there were new releases — Series 2 Minis (squishes) and Build-a-Slither toys — I knew I had to include them in this year’s non-candy Easter baskets. My kids are obsessed with these!
The slither.io Mini is the ultimate squishy slither. It comes in a blind capsules and it’s always a treasure hunt for kids to find their favorite slithers. Will they get the rainbow, the USA flag or maybe even the ultra-rare slither? The series 2 slither.io Minis include adorable squishes in fun new colors. My daughter loves collecting these!

My big boy is more of a builder than a collector so the new Build-a-Slither toy line from Bonkers Toys is the perfect filler for his no candy Easter basket. Build-a-Slither packs allow slither.io fans to construct and create their very own colorful slithers based on the awarding winning slither.io app (with 27 Billion game plays in 2017).
The new Build-a-Slither line includes build-a-Slither Blind Bags that contain all the pieces to create one slither. They’re just perfect non-candy Easter basket fillers! My favorite, however, are the Build-a-Slither multi-packs that come with 32 colorful construction pieces to create up to 4 different slithers, or mix and match to make a super-sized longer slither.
There’s also a Build-a-Slither Mega Pack available which is the ultimate collector’s dream with 120 pieces and unlimited fun.
