Although the students loved these silly squishy toys, they did not last for a classroom. Yes, they pop, but that wasn't what took them off the list. What we found after the first week is that they collect dirt and do not clean up very well.
This student is using a tangle jr. which seems to be not only the favorite with the students, but my favorite as well due to the durability and ability to clean.
Here are my three favorite fidget toys so far. The tangle jr.(found on the right) is the more expensive at about $3 each unless you find a sale. The bean bags were extremely cheap and my mother in law made these for our class. The flip stick (red) is a great toy for them to flip in an out of their fingers or roll back and forth on the desk.
With all of the tools that I have found so far, we have had to introduce and create rules. The general rules that we have created as a class are: -It may not leave your hand -They may not be passed between students -Your fidget toy should not touch others -They may not make noise
