Fidgets You Can Make Yourself

While it may seem like fidgets are a trendy fad, for kids (or adults) who need to fidget, they are anything but. For those who need them, fidgets are a way to calm the anxiety, calm the nerves, settle the body, focus the attention, and improve concentration.

While fidget spinners and fidget cubes are the obvious fidget choice of the moment, there are many fidgets that you can make yourself at home.
