DIY Fidget Toys – 7 Amazing Homemade Fidget Toys

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.

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.
