Just like your patients, not all fidget toys are alike. Each type of fidget offers a unique tactile experience: some patients may like the feeling of slime or squeeze toys, while others may prefer a more solid sensation. Katie and her team of child life specialists at @ChildLifeOnCall know just how important it is to have a variety of textures, shapes, and movement to allow your patient to have choice and autonomy when selecting a tactile coping tool.

Here are three fidget toys that are a MUST for your patients:

1. Keyboard Fidget Toys (TOY2809): Designed to mimic the look, feel, and sound of an actual keyboard
2. Sensory Rings (RNG333): Made of spirals that can be pulled and stretched, these fidgets offer a unique sensation when rolled on your finger
3. Finger Flyer Fidget Spinners (TOY2820): These spinners flare out while spinning and make soft, satisfying clicks as they come back together
