Calm, Focused, And More-Fidgets Magic Do It All!

Help me give my students these sensory fidgets. All these fidgets especially the gel-maze activity pad will give them calm and comfort when they are stressed with class works, and benefit them in so many ways!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. April's classroom raised $586

My Project

My students vary in age, from three years old to twelve years old. Each has unique individual educational needs. Learning is difficult and stressful for them.

Fidgets have been proven to benefit SEN students.

It will help them calm down, feel comfortable, and improve eye-hand coordination, tactile & visual stimulation, hand dexterity, and finger strength. Above all, it will help them focus and build attention span, which perfectly fits my student's hyperactive behavior. It is also a great tool for anyone with sensory processing disorder, autism or ADHD. More focused means more fun learning.
