My Project

My students love fidgets. They are always stopping by my school counseling office to borrow one to use in class to help them focus better and to help them manage their anxiety. They are also used in my school counseling office while students are talking with me - it helps them to talk when they have something to do with their hands.

Of course, after a few years of many students using the same fidgets over and over again, my current fidgets need to be replaced.

Many of the students' favorite ones have been long since retired and the supply to choose from is now low. My students and I would be very thankful if you could help us replenish our fidgets.
