Fidget Toys

Fidget toys come in all different shapes sizes and colours. They aren’t only great tools for kids, they’re incredibly useful for adults as well!

People who find it hard to sit still & move around a lot, are often seeking extra sensory input. Fidget toys can provide extra sensory input and can be the perfect tool to help improve concentration and attention to task (with the least amount of distraction). Fidget toys do this by providing more sensory input which allowing the brain to filter out the other sensory information in the environment, which causes the person to be distracted.

Fidget toys are also great for reducing stress and anxiety levels. Many people tend to move around or fidget when feeling overwhelmed or stressed. People will often tap their feet nervously or click a pen when in exams, interviews, or other stressful situations.

While for the person it can help reduce anxiety and stress levels it can be super annoying and distracting to others, there is nothing worse than being in an exam and hearing someone clicking a pen! Luckily there are lots of fidget toys that can be used to help reduce anxiety levels and improve attention to tasks in a minimally distracting way for both the person and people surrounding them.

There are lots of places you can find fidget toys that don’t make lots of noise or cause too much distraction, such as stress putty, fidget cubes, anxiety rings, squishy toys, the list goes on! Have a look in your local 2 dollar store, post office or even kmart!

Give one a try for yourself and enjoy!
