This axolotl is a super cool fidget! The critter is made up of several hard plastic bowls that are connected. This gives the animal a jointed and robotic movement. You can twist and spin the axolotl in your hand. The hard plastic makes a nice sooting sound as the colored cups rub together and move. It is quite mesmerizing to feel. Great sensory toy. Fidgeting stimulates neural responses to produce an increase in blood circulation in the brain and extremities, so it can ease the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder, ADD, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, dementia and autism. These are tactile fidget toys that appeal to both children and adults. They are a great tool to use in the office or classroom for those who can't sit still, or have ADD/ADHD, OCD, autism, or high stress and anxiety. These fidget toys reduce stress, anxiety and can increase focus and attention when used while learning. They help keep the brain focused while the fingers are fidgeting. Fidgets are a self-regulation tool used with children who have a difficult time sitting still or focusing. Fidgets help promote focus and concentration, and keep the body (fingers) busy so they can still sit and focus! Fidget toys are also great for strengthening hand muscles and building fine motor and finger dexterity.
