Fidget toys
Fidget toys (anti-stress toys) like yoga, breathing exercises or meditation can help us calm down. It’s hard to believe, but this invention appeared back in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 years). The Chinese started producing small, palm-sized metal balls (Baoding balls). They were used for medicinal purposes. It was believed that if your hands were busy, you would never get into trouble.
“Pubmed center” conducted a study in 2018 and proved that fidget toys help to pay attention and concentrate on one’s emotions. They can make us stop nervously twisting a strand of hair, moving our legs, pulling on earrings, tapping our fingers on the table. Buying this great invention will cost less nerves and chewed pens. Especially since we can all find the most suitable option for ourselves.
Fidget toys help us cope with the anxiety of the moment and even get rid of bad habits. When we are stressed or in a sad mood, we can use them as a distraction. And when you come back to the present moment, you might be able to look at everything from a different angle. Or maybe while spinning the loopy looper in your hand, you will suddenly realize that you have come up with the right solution to the problem. Fidget toys help improve hand coordination, movement accuracy, speed, tweezer grasping. They are not only suitable for children as an educational tool. Adults can also find them useful at work or in other daily situations.
