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

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!

I bought these fidgets for my kiddo who needs to move while working to keep focused. I thought these would be great for him to keep in his desk at school. He says they do help him. However, I also discovered that they are a great addition to our "Take a break" bucket. It's a bucket we use to give our kids something to do when they are having a hard time coping with their emotions. The bucket contains glittery water bottles, party blowers, balloons filled with various items/textures, finger traps and a bite toy. Now it also has fidgets. The fidgets have been a favorite. I would recommend this inexpensive addition to any family with children. I could think of many different uses for these. They could also be used as stacking toys if you had enough of them.

Great fidget. I try out all of my daughter's fidgets before they are given to her. The marble stays in there pretty good, If the child pushes REALLY hard and really works at it, they can get the marble out but otherwise, great fidget. My daughter and I love the texture and the fact that it can be used in her classroom quietly and discreetly. They are very affordable which is great because she tends to misplace things. I would recommend this.

Work great for someone with anxiety (at least me). However some of these have better craftsmanship then others. One I used a few hours and it broke, another broke after a few weeks, and another has lasted a while. They're a decent value for their money. Just don't give them to younger children.

I teach middle school history. We have a great time in class, but school is hard. This year, my goal has been to address sensory needs across the entire classroom population, identified or not. I'm slowly replacing the standard fluorescent light panels with Sky Panels, have all desks and chairs fitted with DIY 'bouncy bands,' and now I'm adding tactile fidgets to my arsenal. (I'll copy this part of the review across all of the ones I've purchased recently, but edit for the specific item at the end.)My husband pilfered one for himself, and I took the remaining 5 into my classroom. I have yuck-e balls and sand shapes, also. Everyone has individual preferences, and these are by far the most popular- so much so that I've got a class set in my cart to buy this weekend. Definitely a great purchase.

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 :)

After accidentally ordering them (thanks buy now), I was at first pleasantly surprised. They were fun, not addicting, but just fun and easy to fidget with. Then the stitching on the sides started to come loose after like two or three days of use. Some were broken after a week. The balls were not secure and I even lost one of them. This is true for the three I have opened and fidgeted with.
