So, I went down a rabbit hole of TikTok's full of fidget toy ideas. Some easy and some not. Thus, I thought I would share a few that caught my eye to help you get through those long zoom classes and give you the #brainbreak you oh so deserve.
Sandwich Bag of Bubbles
Materials: Sandwich Bag and Dish Soap or Bubble Bath
- Run some water in the sink or bathtub and add dish soap or bubble bath.
- Once you get good size suds on the top turn off the water.
- Now take your sandwich bag and grab those bubble – and some air too.
- Zip the bag close and now you have a squishy bubble filled bag to squeeze and squish.
Clothespins Contraption
Materials: Clothespins
- Take a bag of close pins (can be found at the dollar store) and take them apart. We only need the silver spring piece in the middle so you can discard or create some cool art with all that leftover wood pieces.
- Now we will be connecting those silver spring pieces together by hooking the L-shaped side into the cylinder portion on the spring.
- Connect them all together until you make one big springy toy.
Pop It
Materials: Empty Water Bottle, Hot Glue Gun or Tape, and Scissors
- Cut the water bottle right under the mouth.
- Take a section of the rounded top half of the water bottle (above the label) and cut a large enough piece to cover the entire mouth of the water bottle.
- Now take either your hot glue gun or tape and secure that piece on top of the water bottle mouth.
- You can stop right here but, If you want extra stability you can secure this toy to a piece of cardboard and ta-da you are all done.
