This alligator is a super cool fidget! The reptile is quite large measuring in at 8" long and 2" wide. The critter is made up of several hard plastic bowls that are connected. This gives the animal a jointed and robotic movement. You can twist and spin the shark in your hand. The hard plastic makes a nice soothing sound as the colored cups rub together and move. It is quite mesmerizing to feel. Great sensory toy. Fidgeting stimulates neural responses to produce an increase in blood circulation in the brain and extremities, so it can ease the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder, ADD, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, dementia and autism. These are tactile fidget toys that appeal to both children and adults. They are a great tool to use in the office or classroom for those who can't sit still, or have ADD/ADHD, OCD, autism, or high stress and anxiety. These fidget toys reduce stress, anxiety and can increase focus and attention.
