What We’ve Got
Favorites
Flashing color ice cube by Litecubes The best party favor ever! It flashes in about 7 colors that you can control. Meanwhile, it’s actually waterproof! Although they’re sold as drink-ware, they make great fidgets! I found it on www.partyglowz.com. About $5.50 each plus shipping and handling. You can buy them in bulk for less.
Rainbow star-shaped miniature slinky I see my son using this one the most! It’s bouncy and the colors run into each other as you stretch and flick it. There is one just like it as part of a glow-in-the-dark 6-pack on Oriental Trading Company’s website. 12 pieces for $5.28!
Go-Tos
Pineapple Pop-It A teacher gave him this one as a prize. Amazon.com carries the yellow version for about $3.50. For an interesting twist, Etsy has it in rainbow! About $3.50 plus shipping and handling
Stretchy-String This is also a big favorite. Surprise–one string stretches over 10 feet! You can step on it and pull-pull-pull! Tie them together to stretch them 20 feet as well. Playing with these is both calming and energizing. Our local, lovable Therapro store has them in stock. Therapro is a great resource for many special needs items. They ship all over the country. About $6.95
