This is running list of fidgets and sensory toys my kids and I use. For reference, my kids are 3 and 9. I am not a fan of loud, clicky fidgets or fidgets that distract from learning.
We have 5 of these. They are amazing for busy hands, self-regulation, and curious kids.
Shashibo Magnetic Puzzle Cubes for Your Fidget Toy Needs
Great for kids who needs to exert deep pressure, easy to clean, and pretty sturdy
Schylling NeeDoh Nice Cube Sensory Toy
Sturdy, but more gentle. Not as hard to squish as the nice cube, but not gooshy. This is my personal favorite.
Schylling NeeDoh SplootSplat Sensory Toy
This is a firmer squish, good for deeper pressure squishing. The multi-color and stretchiness is really nice. Fun to watch come back to shape
The PolySquish Discovery Series
My kids love these- not great if you need a quiet fidget, but other wise perfect. My kids like to take them apart and put them together and then click and bend, etc
Wacky Tracks Fidget Toys - 24 per bag
My oldest kid loves this. It’s relatively quiet and has an almost fluid movement.
Infinity Cube Sensory Fidget Toy for Kids & Adults
Customizable and creative. Dual purpose bc it’s a fidget and a building toy
Fidget Spinner
This is a great building toy with a skimming element that allows for sensory input. It’s also a great open ended toy
TOSY Magnet Pyramid Stone - 1 Cube, 14 pcs
This is my favorite fidget. It’s quiet and has shape shifting and some give without the sticky feeling of some squishies
Morf Fidget Worm Toy - Flexible 3D Sensory
I like that the elements are all soft, silicone and that you can create and deconstruct over and over again. My kids and I both use these when we’re feeling a little overwhelmed
Pushpeel Silicone Sensory Fidget Toy
Great for skin-picking or pain seeking. I use this more than my kids, but it’s very helpful
Little Ouchies
This is a softer squish, it’s more of a jelly texture. My youngest prefers this one because it is easier to squish. Easy to clean
