Sensory Fidget Toy for Focus and To Relieve Anxiety Stress, Nylon Mesh With Marble for Adults and Children

I introduced these Boinks Fidgets to my son who is very hyper and has a hard time sitting or standing still. Preschool was a struggle because he had a difficult time sitting still in circle time or at the table. He is starting Kindergarten in just a few weeks and I have desperately been trying to find things to help him succeed.He has had great luck with Chewy Tubes, (CHEWY TUBE BLUE - LARGE, 6 PACK). It helps focus some of his energy and works well for his oral fixation.However, there are times he can’t have a Chewy (like at basketball practice) and times he needs something more to keep him busy and fixated. So we are going to give the Boinks Fidgets a try.The package I purchased came with 6 (seems like the best value) and they are made of a thick, semi-flexible nylon webbing (similar to what you find on web chairs). The ends are sewn together forming a tube with a marble inside. The mesh seems very sturdy and has doesn’t seem to have much open weave for the marbles to come out.I like the multitude of colors it comes in. I’m going to try to figure out a way to keep him from losing them because they are rather small. I’m thinking I will use some of the breakaway lanyards I keep for his Chewys so he can keep one at hand around his neck. The ones I use are found here: (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z1DBWGW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Or at least so it will be attached to something large and harder to lose.Along with these, we are also going to try a Bouncy Band (ihttps://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DFW6GU2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for his desk chair at school.I hope between these two coping devices it will allow him to focus and keep his mind on his schoolwork as he transitions into a more stabilized and controlled environment. In the meantime I have given these four stars as I think they ARE a bit small and a bit pricey, but if they work well I will feel it well worth the value.I will update with the results :)

Simple and effective way to occupy busy little hands (or big hands). Got them for my son to help him focus in class. He keeps one in his pocket and this has dramatically reduced the number of times he gets out of his seat and bothers other kids in class. I highly recommend these for moms and teachers.

My kindergartners LOVE these fidgets! They are so good that I saw one of my kids start chewing on it! I of course reminded that child how many other kids have put their hands on it... They are VERY durable and have yet to break or shred. They are just the right size for small hands and the having the little ball inside is the perfect movement that my kids need. I caught a sale and got 6 for $7. Awesome price! I try to keep all of my brain tools at $1 per item or less, so that when one breaks, it's not a terrible loss. Plus they are meant to be used and abused! So much better than the kids bothering students next to them!My kids use these when we are sitting in large group, next to each other. They keep them in their lap and are able to move the ball back and forth inside. This helps them focus on listening, instead of trying to find a way to keep their bodies busy. I have a variety of other tools for the students to use, but to this point, they have been the most durable.Pros:PriceDurabilityUsesSizeQualityDesignCons:NONE!

These fidgets are okay. I thought they would be larger than they were. They are somewhat fun to play with and keep my hands busy when I am feeling a bit antsy. However, I also purchased these for my son and daughter who like fidgets, and neither one of them liked these or played with them for more than a minute or two. They said it did not feel satisfying and did not curb their anxiousness or restlessness. I think they are okay, but I do not need this many for myself. I think they are overpriced for what you get, and I would probably not order them again. They are not terrible, I think it is just a matter of finding what works for you. These provide mild relief to my anxiousness, but I would look elsewhere when I need to get a new fidget type thing. I think there just is not enough movement that goes on with these, to provide full relief. They may work great for you, so it may be worth trying. I am only reporting on my experience.

I didn't expect much from these, but I just can't put them down. I prefer squishing them end to end so they puff out and get wider, but that's just me. I only got them this afternoon, so I don't know how well they hold up to continued use, but given the cost, assuming they last a while I would absolutely buy them again.

These seem to work well. The bonus is the coarse texture of the webbing tube the marble is in. This gives quite a bit of fingertip sensation when everything seems to be out of sync. It helps the focus on one thing to help with regulating the overwhelming input when gets out of control. I wish the tube wasn't so long because it adds a bit of frustration when the marble has so far to travel when I want to just move it back and forth quickly.

The perfect fidget! I am 22 but I don't go anywhere without something to occupy my hands otherwise I'll end up ripping my nails to shreds. For a while I was carrying around stress balls but these are far superior bc they are small and fit in any pocket (even non-existent women's pockets!). Also, Also they are way more satisfying to play with than I expected. Plus, I keep finding more and more ways to play with them. All my friends are jealous. :)

Got these for my autistic son. The stitching is so cheap that they popped open and my son hit himself in the face with a marble and chipped a tooth. He was incredibly lucky it went down his throat. DO NOT BUY THESE . Cheap, poorly constructed and dangerous. Bad product.
