Fidget toys such as spinners and cubes have been around for a few years and have proven to be very popular. They were originally designed to provide tactile and sensory experiences to help children calm and focus. Many adults use them as well.

Pop Its are another kind of fidget toy that has become very popular. They are made out of 100% flexible silicone and are non toxic . The Pop Its consist of bubbles that children press down which makes a popping sound.

Pop Its are excellent for fine motor activities. We do both simple popping which is just pressing the bubbles with one finger. We then more on to more complex popping using two fingers and alternating the fingers when popping. We also hold the Pop Its and press the bubbles down with our thumbs on the front and then pressing the bubbles back up with the fingers that are behind.

One of our favorite activities besides popping is to have the children squeeze a dropper in a small container of water and fill the pressed in bubbles to the top. They then remove the water from the bubbles with the dropper and put the water back in the water container.

We also place small pom poms and marbles in the pressed in bubbles using jumbo tweezers and clothespins and then remove the items using fingers.

I can't tell you how helpful your materials have been to my pre-k program. I live in Georgia and teach in a low income area. Your resources have become invaluable to the education of my students. Thank you for all you do and bless you.
