Fidget Toys

Fidget toys are things that turn, twist, wrap and roll while keeping the fingers and hands busy. Those with kids will perfectly understand the need for DIY fidget toys. Fidgets help keep stressed and energetic kids focused without ruining other things.

I speak from experience here. My oldest fidgets sometimes out of stress and boredom. It used to be book edges that would get crinkled or corners of paper folded. Or you would find doodles on homework. Having an item specifically to fidget with calmed the focus and saved the books.

How To Make Your Own Fidget Toy

Store bought fidgets can get expensive and with repeat play they get boring. Being able to create your own fidget toys can help keep the calm, save you some money and keep energetic hands busy. Below you will find some amazing DIY fidget toy ideas even for beginners.

DIY Fidget Toys

DIY fidget toys are do it yourself fidget projects that are great even for beginners. The great thing about fidgets is they don’t need to be perfect they simply need to keep the fingers and hands busy.

What Are Fidget Toys Made For

Fidget toys are made for both kids and adults to occupy busy hands, decrease stress, create calm, decrease boredom and increase focus.

How To Fidget

The question might sound silly. How do you fidget? How do you use a fidget toy? The simple answer is you fiddle and fidget with it. Think about a Rubix cube you turn it and twist it till you get your desired result. A fidget toy is the same, but each toy is different. You may turn it or twist it. Click or flick a button or switch. Shake, squish or pull. Slime and playdough are perfect examples of homemade fidgets for little hands.

Fidget Toys For Kids

I remember when my oldest was in elementary school that fidget spinners were a popular toy. Anything really that a kid could fiddle with that was small enough to not be distracting to the whole class. Kids are full of energy and lets face it sometimes they get bored and need a distraction. Fidget toys are perfect.

DIY Stress Toys

In our very busy world stress is inevitable and the perfect way to combat it is with a DIY stress ball. Something simple you can make at home to squish, pop, stretch or doodle your way to stress free living.

DIY Homemade Fidget Toys

No matter whether you are DIYing toys for fidgety fingers or for stress free living homemade fidget toys are great.

Quiet DIY Fidget Toys

As a parent finding the perfect quiet toy for your kids to play with in the car or the doctors office or at school is hard. Below you will find 7+ cheap DIY fidget toys that are quiet and entertaining. The Lego fidget cube I think is my favorite. Followed by the sensory bottles they make me think of those old push button water ring toss games we had when we were little.
