Fiddle toy

I need fiddle toys for my 9yo.

I want something like these textured, bendy rings, but small enough to fit in a pocket.

I also want to try him on a balance cushion, and wonder whether there are any which vibrate. Vibrations seem to first excite and then calm him.

I'd be really grateful anyone could point me towards websites or catalogues which they have found useful.

My d's loves his tangle toy. He has a fuzzy one the fits into a pocket. Sorry I'm on my phone and can't link but I got his from amazon. X

If you google fidget tangle, that's what my DC has.

Thanks for the recommendations. Dc and I have had a browse and we've ordered a hairy Tangle, a couple of squidgy hairy things, a mesh tubey-springy thing, and some hair-bobbles that are basically an endless coiled coil. Hopefully we've got sensory-seeking, finger-twiddling and tight squeezing all covered.

Don't know if it would fit the bill, but I have a little rubber diplodocus which is an amazing fiddle toy. I used to carry a pen around all the time at work, but the diplo is much better. Sadly looks like you have to by a set- but the red one is good too and spares always handy!

We have those at work and I don't know how it is, but one always seems to end up in my pocket! Of course I return it next day. They are great fiddlers, just lack squish.

I found a brilliant slapband in Smiggle today. Soft, rubbery coating, with firm rubbery spikes. Ds loves it. So do I.
