Raise your hand if fidget spinners have invaded! I resisted for the longest time, but they eventually found their way into our home.
What is a Fidget Spinner?
Fidget spinners are small plastic toys made for restless hands to fiddle or "fidget" with while waiting. The ball bearings in the center of the device allow it to rotate quickly and smoothly around the center point with just a light push of your fingers. They are sometimes called hand spinners or fidget toys.
Harnessing the Fidget Spinner Craze
Fidget spinners are everywhere this year! I have seen them being sold at the zoo, the grocery store, the gas station…. even the farmers’ market had a fidget spinner booth this summer!
While the toys can get a bit annoying to teachers and parents, they can also be used in fun ways around the home.
- Use the fidget spinner as a tooth brushing timer
- Play “beat the spinner” to clean up the toy room
Free Printable Fidget Spinner Movie Picker
We've found one fun fidget spinner use in our home:
- An argument-breaking, decision-making movie picker!
There are so many fun shows to stream that we often have a hard time agreeing on one! Should we watch something animated, a nature documentary, or a classic family film? The decision can go on far too long.
I created a fun paper movie selector that settles arguments fast! Let each family member fill in a favorite movie title or two… then let the fidget spinner decide.
