What is a fidget spinner or hand spinner?

Do you find your self constantly fidgeting all the time? Is learning easier for you when you're moving? Are you a nail biter?

 

Some people tap their legs, some tap or fidget with a pencil or pen. Do you have children that are restless in class? This hand spinner may help with all of this. It may even help you quit smoking by assisting with eliminating fixations. Some substitute with other nicotine delivery systems or sunflower seeds but you're still reinforcing old habits. Fidget spinners may help with Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, Hand Rehabilitation after injury, and Aspergers. And if you just plain enjoy Everyday Carry gear (EDC) then this is for you!

It's often the case that spinning an object or twiddling with the hands can help focus or alleviate stress. Scholastic.com quoted an article titled Hands-On Is Minds-On, stating "When you combine activities that require movement, talking, and listening, it activates multiple areas of the brain. "The more parts of your brain you use, the more likely you are to retain information...Indeed, even adults benefit from the "busy hands, busy brain" phenomenon: Recent research has shown that people who doodle during business meetings have better memory recall. A report in the journalApplied Cognitive Psychology demonstrated that volunteers who doodled during a dull verbal message were 29 percent better at recalling details from the message." 

According to an article published by The Wall Street JournalThe Power of the Doodle: Improve Your Focus and Memory, "Recent research in neuroscience, psychology and design shows that doodling can help people stay focused, grasp new concepts and retain information. A blank page also can serve as an extended playing field for the brain, allowing people to revise and improve on creative thoughts and ideas."

We believe fidget spinners offer a non-distracting solution that can help people learn better, improve retention and focus, and assist in the educational needs of the learning disabled. Plus it is just plain fun to spin.
