Physical 0

Skills

• Busy Fingers™ can be mounted via Velcro to desks, drawers, tables and more for kids to explore and expend energy through fidgeting with their fingers.  
• Kids learn through exploration. Busy Fingers™ allows children to engage by “doing” or “feeling” through their fingertips and helps enhance learning.
• Busy Fingers™ helps direct and control movement so that kids can focus their energy positively and don’t distract others. 

Sensory 0

Skills

• Busy Fingers™ can help kids learn to self-regulate (the ability to monitor and control behavior, emotions, or thoughts).
• The various fabrics used on Busy Fingers™ can promote sensory exploration and tactile discrimination as the child fidgets and explores the unique textures.
• Busy Fingers™ can provide sensory input while managing tasks in school, during homework, car rides, etc. This can help a child learn how to multitask and maintain focus and attention.
