Whether you have trouble concentrating because you are bored, you are neurodivergent, or something else, keeping your hands busy can help you stay focused on what you are doing. Whether that's listening to a lecture, attending a meeting, watching something on TV, or anything in between, fidget toys can help.
We gathered a diverse list of some of our favorites to help you (and your mind) stay active when you need it most, so here is our list of the best fidget toys.
This small fidget toy packs a massive punch. It has scrolling, picking, button mashing, rolling, dialing, joystick, switch, and other functionality, too. It fits easily in your pocket, so you'll be able to take it and go, or even play with it quietly in a hoodie pocket or bag, to avoid distracting others.
Shifting cubes have long been a draw, but perhaps the most famous is the Rubik's Cube. If you want to avoid the puzzle-solving aspect, but want to feel the similar satisfaction of reorganizing and moving a cube around, this Shashibo shape-shifting box has dozens of shapes it can take.
This stainless steel fidget spinner doesn't make tons of noise, and you can hold it in the center of one hand to let it spin for longer periods, or hold it on one of the three prongs to swing it back and forth. Whatever helps you stay focused.
Feel the smooth gliding rotation of this roller, which not only helps you focus, but also exercises your hands in unusual ways (similar to fushigi balls, but you are a lot less likely to drop the roller). It's also sleek and easy to fit in a pocket or bag, and it comes with a carrying case.
Magnets are awesome. Everybody knows that, but this set of three rings sticks together, so you can rotate, fling, dangle and suspend, or whatever else you like as you keep your fingers busy.
This four-pack of poppers are like bubble wrap that doesn't turn into trash as soon as you are finished. Satisfy yourself with idle bubble popping on four different colorful shaped toys while in meetings, watching TV, or whatever else you like.
This set of bendable, clickable strings are great for all kinds of movement. Make long, winding paths, smaller bracelets, or just twist the tracks into all kinds of shapes. Whatever gets the wiggles out. It comes with 8 segments that you can mix and match as you please.
Also be sure to check out our roundups for the best WWE action figures and best Marvel action figures.
