Hello, DIYers!

The new school year is upon us! If your child, like mine, tends to be a ball of energy that has trouble sitting still throughout the school day, then why not consider making fidget toys or fidget tools a regular part of his or her learning process?! Many children with ADHD or Autism use these as coping tools to help them stay focus, engaged, and to let out some of their energy throughout the day, but even if your child does not have either diagnosis, any child can benefit from having something to fidget with while listening and sitting still in the classroom. Give these a try!
