TEN LITTLE FIDGETS • Pop-It by pressing the bubbles and pop, pop, pop… forever • Worry Stone - rub a smooth stone until your thoughts settle • Breathing Orb - breathe along at a gentle 4-4-4-4 or 4-7-8 pace • Squish - press and hold a blob that gives under your thumb • Clicker - flip a row of satisfying mechanical switches • Spinner - flick it and watch it coast • Beads - slide beads along a wire and hear them clack • Zipper - zip a textured track up and down • Marble Tray - tilt your phone to roll a marble around a dish • Chime Pluck - strum hanging strings, always in tune CALM OR FOCUS Some fidgets are slow and grounding.
