Best Fidget Pads of 2025

"I admit, I don’t get the hype of fidgets, but my kids love them! I found these fun two-pack with different colors, and they immediately started playing with them. They thought the design was really cool and enjoyed all the different things they could do with each. The lanyards are a nice touch for attaching them to bags. Perfect stocking stuffer!"

"I wanted to get a fidget for my child with ADHD for school. These seemed ideal since they have various options to manipulate. The two-pack was perfect for my partner and child to try out. They’ve been fantastic, providing enough novelty to keep them engaged while meeting their sensory needs. I might buy a larger pack to have around the house and in my bag for when we're out!"

"I bought this for my 6-year-old autistic grandson, and it satisfies his sensory needs wonderfully. He plays with it quietly in church and even shares it with other kids in the cry room. I’ve seen children, teens, and adults enjoy it too! I liked it so much that I’ve purchased four more as gifts for family."

“I find this fidget toy to be the best I’ve ever had! For the past 10 years, I've always carried one for anxiety relief. It's perfectly sized—not too big or awkward—and every feature is enjoyable to fidget with. The weight is just right, making it worth every penny!”

“I purchased this for my son, who fidgets a lot, especially in quiet places like church. While I appreciate the hanging loop for easy storage, some buttons do make sounds that could be distracting in a quiet environment. Overall, it's a decent option for keeping his hands busy, but I might look for something more sturdy next time.”

“This fidget toy has been a lifesaver for my daughter during her CRNA school. She was constantly twirling her hair, causing breakage. Now, she can focus better and protect her hair at the same time. I might need to buy more in case she wears this one out!”

"I bought these for a birthday party, and the kids loved them. They were a lot of fun to play with, even if they felt a bit lighter and not as durable as others I've bought before."

"These fidget toys are great for anxiety relief. I've had many, and I often lose them, but they're fun and easy to use in class. My favorite parts are the dial and rollers on the side. The joystick is a bit surprising, though!"

"We used these as party favors for our son's gaming birthday party. They fit the theme perfectly, and I enjoyed playing with them, too. Well made and durable, they offered a good variety of fidgets in one toy."

"These fidgets are super popular with kids. Although they can break easily if your child likes to take things apart, they generally work well for all elementary-aged kids I interact with."

"I found that they fit perfectly in my hand and feature many different textures. They’re excellent for fidgeting during meetings, school, or just about anytime!"

"I ordered two boxes of 12-piece fidget toys as party favors. I was pleasantly surprised that most were individually wrapped. However, two toys were sticky and the wrist strap was unattached, making it quite challenging to put on. I wish everything had been wrapped, so I’m giving it 4 stars for the product but taking off one star for the packaging issue."

“I purchased the Push Peel Sensory Activity Board for my two toddlers, ages 3 and 5, and they adore it! It's a game changer during restaurant visits and car rides, keeping them engaged without screens. The silicone quality is excellent, easy to clean, and the toy is durable and compact for travel. I highly recommend it!”

“I bought this for my nieces and nephew during our family vacation, and they absolutely loved it! It's perfect for flights and car rides, easy to pack, and doesn’t take up much space. They play with it non-stop, making it a great travel companion.”

“As someone with ADHD and autism, I found this board to be incredibly calming and fun. The contrasting colors are visually appealing, and the quality is impressive. I was able to easily attach and detach the rubber sticks. Although it might attract some hair or dust, it’s easy to clean and totally worth the investment.”

"I bought this because it looked cool, kind of like a PlayStation or Xbox controller. It offers way more features than a fidget cube and feels much better in my hands. Plus, it comes with its own carrying case and extra fidget items. It doesn't feel cheap at all. However, some parts are a bit noisy, so I wouldn’t use it at school or work. Overall, I love it and would definitely buy another from this company!"

"This fidget remote might be the best purchase I've ever made. I was instantly hooked when I started using it. It feels like an extension of my body! My favorite features are the joystick and the knob that rocks back and forth. The colored buttons offer different resistances and click sounds, which is fantastic. I do wish the keyring was smoother and more fluid, but overall, I'm very happy and already considering buying extras!"

"I got this for my 2-year-old who loves textures and touching things, especially our gaming controllers. It has helped protect our real controllers a bit. She enjoys playing with it during car rides and carries it in her pockets. This fidget controller is really sturdy and can handle her tantrums. It feels great in my hands too, with plenty of fidget options that are relaxing to use!"

"I’m giving it 5 stars because it checks every box I need. I just wish this device came in a heavier material. The 3 pack option is great for having one in my purse, one in the car, and a spare backup."

"I bought this for Christmas for my two sisters; one has autism and the other has ADHD. They both loved it so much that I think it was their favorite present. The included features are great, but the buttons do have a cheap feel. Overall, it's a great starting point for stim toys!"

"This fidget toy has become my new office best friend! I use it daily to help me focus and relieve stress. It’s packed with different buttons and levers that keep my fingers busy. Most buttons are quiet, so I can fidget without anyone noticing, making it perfect for work. I love the variety of textures and resistance levels. This is definitely one of the best purchases I've made!"

"I think this is compact and concealable, which is nice. It's also not embarrassing to use as a fidget. I've noticed that others were curious about it and enjoyed fidgeting with it too!"

"I purchased these for my kids to use in school, and they seem to be working great! However, I did find that they are not very durable."

"My husband talks on the phone often and tends to fidget his fingers, so these are perfect for redirecting that energy. My only issue was that two of them arrived without the little lanyard."

“My boys, aged 6 and 4, absolutely loved these toys! They enjoy video games, so the controller design really excited them. They run around pretending to play a real-life video game! These toys are small and perfect for road trips; I keep them in the diaper bag so they’re always handy. Sure, they can get a bit annoying with the constant clicking of the switch, but what child’s toy doesn’t? Overall, they’re just happy with the controller theme. I think they’d make a great stocking stuffer for Christmas! I just wish there were more color options.”

“This is a fidget toy with buttons and knobs, made of plastic. The quality is what you'd expect, as shown in the photos. Each toy comes in different colors, so you might get something unique; we received a cool splattered paint design. The buttons are exactly what I expected from the photos. Overall, I highly recommend this toy.”

"I found these to be pretty affordable and they come in a lot of colors and patterns. However, I did have a couple of issues. Threading the string through the tiny holes was really challenging, and some of them were coming apart when we received them. I’m a bit concerned about their durability with daily use, but I would still think about getting them again for party goodie bags since the kids love them."

"I used these as party favor gifts. They were okay, but they do break pretty easily, as the horizontal seam tends to snap open without much effort."
