Brand new Concave bead range by Kaiko Fidgets. As the name says, the bead hasa concave surface, functioning a little like a rubbing stone surface. The weighted stainless steel beads roll between fingers beautifully. Many rub the cord also. This fidget is super soft in effect.
It is particularly great for those that stim with fabric, Blu-Tac rollers or like low sensory input as it glides between the fingers & is very calming.It is small, discreet and quiet. Given it is a quiet fidget, it makes it ideal for the workplace, travel or the classroom.
Many convert this to a fidget worn on wrist - Tie end, put over wrist and drape into hand,
Not suitable for 3 and under as beads can pose a choking risk
n.b. The antennae needs to pulled every so often to keep knots tight. Please note they are made using cord that can frey over time due 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
love 'soft' sensory input
also wonderful for decreasing agitation & worry for example for those with dementia
Not suitable for children under three years old due to small parts and choking risk.
Keeping the fidgets sanitised.- They are fine to wipe , ours regularly go through washing machine, the trick is to wipe excess moisture off them. If left wet/damp (eg in washing machine lol) they can rust in appearance a little but generally does not affect function. wiping with an antibacterial wipe or damp cloth then drying off thoroughly is the key.
