WHAT IS FIDGETING? Fidgeting is the act of moving about restlessly and is often the result of nervousness, agitation, or boredom. This excessive energy often gets channeled into acts like bouncing ones leg repeatedly, nail biting, knuckle cracking, pencil tapping, hair twirling, and a host of other mindless sensory-motor activities. WHAT ARE FIDGET TOYS? Fidget toys are tools used to promote movement and tactile input. MOUNTAIN VIEW Fidgets consist of woven mesh sleeves containing a marble. The idea is to push the marble back and forth with the fingers to direct a person’s nervous energy in a less distracting and more socially appropriate way than other types of fidgeting. In Sync Fidgets are effective because they are simple, discreet, quiet, and designed to be ergonomically effective and appealing for human hands. These fidgets measure 4 inches long and are a great fidget for both kids and adults. HOW CAN MOUNTAIN VIEW FIDGETS HELP ME? Research by educational psychologists shows that doing something that uses a sense other than the one required for a primary task (like fidgeting with your hand while working on a math problem), can actually focus the mind better on the primary task. Hence kids with ADHD focus best when using fidget toys because the fidgeting is less distractive. In Sync Fidgets work because they help regulate and direct movement specifically without using too much thought or attention. Anyone using these toys can channel nervous energy while focusing on the primary task.

We love these and have shared them
We love these and have shared them. We will buy more. This helped a child in upper middle school change from a more obvious and not age appropriate fidget that he has used for years. I have them all over my house, in my car, purse, etc. we had guests over and one picked one up and just started using it without missing a word. Before he left he asked where we got them. Of course I shared the source but said "take one with you." He said, "thanks, this will cut down on the number of paper clips I go through!" We all have our "fidgets" when you think of it, not just individuals with identified sensory needs.

Great for kids and grown ups who just need to do something with their hands.
These are great, simple little toys. I work with children who are deaf and hard or hearing who use technology to hear. They often have to sit and listen for long periods of time and it's easy to become fidgity and start playing with cables they shouldn't be playing with. I see them grab a cable, I hand them one of these. Problem solved. As a fidget myself, I find them to fit the bill when my hands just need to be doing something.

Fun, soundless, fidget. Great for in the classroom.
These were a hit with my son and his friends. I bought this pack to include one each in a little goodie bag for my teenage son's classmates. They were well received by all of them. I've had great feedback that everyone has enjoyed them. I've found myself picking one up and fidgeting with it as I watch tv of an evening. They seem very well made and I think they will hold up for some time.

Not great
Not as interesting to my kids as I'd hoped they'd be and the ends ripped on a few and the marble fell out. Could be a choking hazard if it got into the wrong hands. Good idea, but not a great product.

Cheap/decent option
Cheap and simple fidget. Probably better options out there but these are relatively disposable if you're worried about kids losing them.

" All the kids loved it!
My son has severe sensory issues so I bought these for him and his entire class. The teacher thanked me and said," All the kids loved it!!" She noticed that they paid more attention. They were comprehending more. I'm extremely happy with this product.
