Whether your child loves popping, spinning, squeezing or simply keeping busy hands occupied, you'll find plenty of fidget toys to choose from. This collection  includes pop its, fidget spinners, fidget cubes, sensory rings, squishies and stress balls for kids of different ages and interests. Whether you're after a cool novelty toy for the school bag or fidget toys for kids who benefit from a bit of extra tactile input, there's something here for every age and every kind of fidgeter.

Pop It Fidget Toys

Pop its are the ones your kids have almost certainly seen at school. A pop it fidget toy is a silicone board covered in bubbles you push in and flip over, then start again. That satisfying push-pop feeling is the whole point, and it's what keeps little hands busy for ages.

You'll find pop it toys in loads of shapes, sizes and colours, from small keychain versions to bigger boards built for two-player games. They suit kids from around 3 and up. They work brilliantly as a quiet solo activity, and turn into a simple race or last-bubble-loses game when siblings or mates jump in.

Fidget Spinners

The classic fidget spinner is still a favourite for good reason. A quick flick, a smooth bearing, and off it goes. Our range covers classic three-prong spinners, weightier metal versions, and LED spinners that light up as they turn.

Spinners generally suit kids around 5 and up. They're handy for a quick focus break during homework, in the car, or as a discreet reset when kids get a bit wound up. Some kids simply enjoy the spinning motion, while others like having something to occupy their hands during short breaks. Pick one by style, colour or how long it spins. 

Fidget Cubes and Multi-Function Fidget Toys

Fidget cubes pack several tactile inputs into one small toy. Buttons to click, dials to spin, switches to flick, sliders to push, and sometimes a smooth stone-like side for thumbs to rub. If your child likes to keep their hands moving without making a fuss, a cube is a solid pick.

Most fidget cubes suit ages 6 and up, and they're quiet enough for classroom use, so teachers usually don't mind. They're compact and grown-up looking, too, popular with teens and adults who like keeping their hands occupied while working or studying, and can also be used as low-key anxiety toys for kids. 

Sensory Fidget Toys

There's a lot of overlap between fidget toys and sensory toys, and it's worth understanding the difference. Fidget toys are usually about keeping hands busy for focus or fun. Sensory fidget toys go a step further and provide specific tactile input, whether that's stretching, squeezing, twisting or chewing. Think sensory rings, tangle toys, chewables, squishies and stress balls.

Many families choose these toys for kids who enjoy extra tactile input or prefer different textures to explore through play, or as fidget toys for ADHD, anxiety or sensory processing differences. For a wider range built around those needs, you'll also find plenty of options in our sensory toys collection. If you're not sure what suits your child, a quick chat with their OT is always a good starting point.

Finding the Right Fidget Toy for Your Child

Not sure where to start? Here's a quick way to narrow it down.

  • Just for fun: pop its, spinners and squishies. Pick by colour, shape or character.
  • Focus and concentration: fidget cubes and sensory rings are quiet and discreet, good for classroom or homework time.
  • Sensory needs: tangle toys, chewables and stress balls give more tactile input. Speak to an OT if you're unsure what suits.
  • Age guide: pop its from 3+, spinners from 5+, cubes from 6+. Some fidgets include small parts, so always check the age label for kids under 3.
  • Budget: most fidgets sit under $20, which makes them handy stocking fillers, party bag extras or small rewards.
  • For older kids exploring more variety, our toys for 6 to 8 year olds range has plenty of crossover picks.

Other Toys Kids Love for Quiet Play

Building a little quiet-play kit? Fidgets pair well with a few other tactile and focus-based options. Classic marble toys are great for fine motor play and hand-eye coordination, and puzzles and board games give kids a longer, more absorbing activity for rainy afternoons or the school holidays.
