@shopwithhamm: I used to think fidgets were just something to keep kids busy. But a lot of them are actually tools. The pulling, squeezing, and resistance helps build the small muscles kids need for things like scissors, writing, buttoning clothes, and other fine motor skills. It’s also the kind of play toddlers naturally gravitate toward, so they’ll keep doing it without realizing they’re working on something. And honestly… those are my favorite kinds of toys. toddler fine motor skills hand strength for scissors fine motor development toddler occupational therapy toys kids sensory toys for toddlers
