Thanks to all the news coverage, many people are finding that fidget spinners are sold out or hard to come by in their local stores. Yes, they ARE THAT POPULAR. I even watched a Dad at my daughter’s karate class fidgeting with one while he waited – even adults have sensory preferences and find themselves needing something to fidget with.
If you are not interested in spending the time looking for a fidget spinner – especially since they have been banned from many classrooms – or you are finding that they are sold out, you might want to try one of these awesome DIY fidget spinners instead!

The fun part about a DIY fidget spinner is that the kids get a hands on activity and can personalize it anyway they would like! Even if these aren’t allowed in the classroom, you will find that they will enjoy using them, and actually ARE quite beneficial to the fidgety kid or the ADHD child that needs to focus.
