Squishy Fidget Toys (Pack of 6)
$22.50 inc. GST
A fidget toy pack for keeping hands busy during activity sessions, this set of 6 squishy tactile shapes suits residents in aged care, day programs, and community care. Soft, easy to grip, and wipe-clean, the shapes work well for people living with dementia who benefit from gentle sensory engagement.
This fidget toy pack is a tactile sensory activity for aged care residents
Six squishy, brightly coloured shapes make up this fidget squishy pack, giving residents something to squeeze, roll, and explore during activity sessions or quiet moments. Each shape has a different texture, so hands stay engaged without any instruction needed. The soft, pliable material is gentle on arthritic or sore hands, and the compact size means the shapes sit comfortably in one hand. They work well for people living with dementia who benefit from repetitive hand movement and tactile input.
