Fidget toy

Common card · No. 266254

A fidget toy, fidget tool, finger gadget, or just fidget, is typically a small object used for pleasant activity with the hands (manual fidgeting or stimming). Some users believe these items help them tolerate anxiety, frustration, agitation, boredom, and excitement. They are also commonly used by those with sensory difficulties. Fidget toys have uses in both therapeutic and educational settings, although some controversies about their safety and effectiveness have been brought up over the years. Fidgets such as worry beads and Baoding balls have long existed, but the types and popularity have dramatically increased since the fidget spinner fad in 2017. “Other types of fidget toys include the Fidget Cube, stress balls, and Pop Its.” A fidget toy can be designed to have a humorous aspect to its play, such as bath toys like “water snakes”, which slip out of a player’s grip, or gel animal keychains which ‘poop’ when squeezed.
