What To Consider When Buying Fidget Toys

How Durable Is It?

If the person playing with the fidget toy is bored or anxious it should be durable enough to handle being pushed, pulled, squeezed etc. and hardwearing so that it lasts.

What Colour Is It?

Colours which are soothing can help to calm the mind and focus you. Light up toys or bright colours may help to relieve boredom.

Is It A Sensory Toy?

The best fidget toys can keep hands busy while helping to develop fine motor skills, concentration and tactile awareness. They also encourage focus and can help to calm and de-stress.

What Sound Does It Make?

Some fidget toys may have no sound and are ideal for those with noise sensitivity. Alternatively, some fidget toys can calm and relax people with autism, ADHD or anxiety by the satisfying sounds they make such as clicking or popping.
