Tangle Set of 3 Jr. Original Fidget Toy

Students love these! Product as described

I first learned about these when my foster son was at this his therapists office. He loves them and so do I. She said it was her most popular fidget.These do. It break. Trust me. He breaks stuff. They don't break. They are however about 17 different curved pieces that you can pull apart and reconnect. It works well for aw sensoru issues kind if like how tapping a pen calms you down.My foster son calms for things like Lego's so pulling these apart and putting them together again work for him. For me I like twisting them and then untwisting them. You can actually make a few shapes.Because of the different t features it suits a variety of fidget needs. It is sturdy and well made and not likely to break. May be with a hammerThis pack is awesome because you get 3 Jr Tangles for very low price. And they don't look junior to me. It is longer than the average pen when connected.Great deal for a well designed fidget! And I usually prefer dollar store ones.

My daughter found a love for these when she was visiting with her psychologist, and I had to buy some for her at home. When she is feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, it gives her hands something to do, because idle hands mean a mess in my house! She loves them, she loves the way they move, the way they feel in her hands, and the colors are appealing. She now has one for her bedroom, one for her backpack to take to school and I keep an extra one in my purse in case she does not have hers with her. I may buy some more to stuff in random places of the house so one is always readily available. I know it may not seem like much, but to have something to busy her hands calms and relaxes her enough to see a difference. She also loves how she can take them apart and put them back together. She can leave some links out to make it smaller or add them all back in to make it longer. If she wanted to, she could add all three of them together and make one really long one, but I have not let her do that yet because I want her to have three of them and not just one. When I order more, I will probably let her do it with a few of them, but for now, no deal.

I bought this for my students a few weeks ago. I teach pre-school special education, so I had been looking for some fidget toys for my students with autism. They are good quality and have appeared to work for some of my students (they think a lot of manipulatives or fidget toys I use for reinforcements are toys, so it has been a bit of a challenge to find something that works for them). I use the fidget toy most during circle time if one or two of my students engages in an undesired behavior to redirect them. Sometimes it will help them re-focus on the instructional activity, and sometimes it doesn't. Promising fidget toy and overall quality is nice. (It does have pieces that pull apart, so it can be a potential choking hazard in my opinion.)

We have a foster son with PTSD who tends to pick at his fingers/nails when he feels anxious or is triggered (which is often)I ordered a larger textured one of these to give it a try and it seemed to work to help him calm down and cope with some things one morning, so I immediately ordered another one plus these as well. They are definitely smaller than their full size cousin, BUT, I think its beneficial because it is easier for small hands and more discrete. The three pack was perfect, we keep one in each car and one in his backpack, then keep the textured one next to his bed and the second textured one downstairs. This way there is always one nearby.Just a few days after getting these, I got an email from his teacher that he had been triggered by something and that he realized it, took out his Tangle Jr. and asked to sit off to the side of the classroom to use it and calm down, then was able to rejoin the class a few minutes later. HUGE progress.In case anyone was wondering about colors we got since its random, the three we received are:teal/light blue/white (3rd pic)navy blue/light blue/green (5th pic)clear/pink/teal (7th pic)Some of the colors are solid and some are translucent, which he finds fascinating for some reason (they have trapped air bubbles)

So I almost didn't get these/tried to cancel my purchase because I found out they were only 3 inches tall in the packages (which, it doesn't specific size on the site as far as I could see). I thought they would be minuscule and not fun to play with. I was wrong and so glad that my order went through instead of being cancelled. When opened up they are about 5-6 inches across, a perfect size to fiddle with. I initially planned to give one to my son and make the rest presents, but my husband opened all of them and we both found ourselves twirling them around while watching TV! The colors are lovely and bright, the product seems sturdy. Some had mentioned it as a potential choking hazard for those under 2 - for ours at least the links were extremely tight and would be very difficult for a child to separate one off, my two year old has been playing with it all week and hasn't made any move to pull it apart (I don't even think he knows it does that and would think to yank on it). Highly recommend, great stocking stuffer or gift! I taught elementary school for ten years and would have loved to have these for my more active students to play with at their desks to keep their hands busy.
