Beads have texture and create a sound and 'crunchy feel' on roll. It’s a bit similar to rolling the flint of a lighter in sound and sensory input.
Many rub the cord also. You can push your fingers in between the beads for a similar sensation to the pea popper.
Not suitable for 3 and under as beads can pose a choking risk.
Please note they are made using cord that can frey over timesue to friction. This is wear and tear and cannot be avoided. The time this takes to occur can depend on how the fidget is used.
These have been effective for those who
- hair twirl or pull
- stim with fabric
- roll Blu-Tac
- also wonderful for decreasing agitation for those with dementia and anxiety.
