Quiet, satisfying magnetic balls to keep busy hands occupied

These Magnetic Fidget Balls are a simple, hand-held fidget toy for teenagers and adults aged 14 and over. The balls click together and pull apart, so you can roll, stack, separate and rejoin them while you think, listen or wait. They are a quiet way to keep restless hands busy at a desk, in a classroom or at home.

How they help

Many people with SEND and learning differences focus better when their hands have something to do. Fidgeting with a small, repetitive object can help some people settle, concentrate and stay on task, without the noise of clicking or spinning toys. The magnetic pull gives a satisfying feel that keeps the hands engaged.

The balls come in three sizes, so you can choose the feel that suits you:

• Small: 2.2 cm balls, in packs of 4 or 8
• Medium: 2.85 cm balls, in packs of 4 or 8
• Large: 4.05 cm balls, in a pack of 2

For schools and colleges

• Quiet in lessons: no clicking or spinning, so they can be used without distracting others.
• Suits older students: a plain, grown-up design for secondary school, post-16 and college learners aged 14 and over.
• Supports SEND provision: can form part of a sensory or self-regulation plan where an adult judges it suitable.
• Choice of sizes and colours: lets students pick the option they find most comfortable.

For home and work

• Homework and revision: something to hold while reading, listening or thinking.
• Desk-friendly: small enough to keep on a desk or in a bag for meetings, calls and study.
• Calm downtime: a simple, repetitive activity for winding down.

Important safety information

These balls are magnetic and are not toys for young children. They are suitable for ages 14 and over only. If two or more magnets are swallowed they can attract each other inside the body and cause serious injury. Keep them away from young children and anyone who may put objects in their mouth, and seek urgent medical help if you suspect a magnet has been swallowed.
