Check these out! Fidget rollers, Bag clips and Key chains. Made of food safe silicone beads, these colourful, stand-out products are locally hand-made by Mary Ward for people who want something different that can double as both a fidget tool AND something practical such as a bag clip and key ring.
Not only that, but each one comes with its own positive affirmation card which can be put in your wallet/purse, school bag, lunch box or pocket.
They can be purchased from evolvecounsellinggippsland.com or directly from Mary via maryward79@gmail.com
The concept behind the Fidget tool (AKA Fidget toy) is that people can direct their energy toward fidgeting with this small device instead of wriggling or moving around. Because this energy is directed toward the Fidget Roller, the idea is that people can handle the challenging emotions they might be experiencing, including boredom, frustration, or even excitement. Fidget tools can help people to focus on one thing rather than what is happening around them and prevent them from being distracted or tuning out (E.g., boring meeting, school assembly, studying for exams, etc.).
Fidget tools (AKA Fidget toys) are small devices that fit into your hand or pocket so that they can discretely be repeatedly manipulated to provide a purposeful, movement-based activity.
By far my favourites are the Fidget Rollers – small, discrete and they are (importantly) quiet.
There is something satisfying about rolling the silicone beads in your hand – whether you have them in your pocket or in your hand down by your side. They assist to relax, calm and self-regulate. Fantastic price at $3.00
These really cool Bag Clips are made with beads, they attach to bags to make them individualised and help with identification (every school bag looks the same, am I right!?). They have funky colours and designed beads. Just $5.00
The Key Rings (which also doubles as a fidget tool) are easy to handle (great for the elderly) and come in pretty colour combinations. AND, if your baby or toddler happens to play with them and put them in their mouth, they are completely safe as the silicone used in the products is of food safe silicone. Only $7.00
