Fidget toys are adult toys that function to help the user focus, pay attention and calm down in the classroom, at work and home situations. Originally fidget toys were made for children with focus-based learning problems. However, in the past couple of years, these toys have been modified so that adults can now use them too. Here are a few common examples of fidget toys:
