When to use: 
Tactile fidgets have multiple purposes: they can provide grounding when a child is distracted and comfort when a child is anxious, overwhelmed or overstimulated. 
Further  opportunity to develop fine motor skills. 
Opportunity to teach coping skills and tools.
 
How to use: 
A great option during “down” or “wait” times for children. Children often don’t know how to direct their attention/focus and bodies, this gives them the tool to put their energy into something.
A great option when a child needs to sit and listen. Tactile fidgets can help group and connect multiple senses for learning.
