Fidget spinners are small, handheld devices designed to spin around a central bearing. They typically consist of a plastic or metal body with three prongs, each containing a bearing. Users can hold the center and flick the prongs to make them spin, providing a satisfying sensory experience. Fidget spinners gained popularity in 2017 as a tool for stress relief and focus.
These toys are often used by individuals, including children and adults, who may have conditions like ADHD or anxiety. While some people find them helpful for concentration, others argue that they can be distracting in certain environments, such as classrooms.
