Where to buy sensory toys?

7 replies

I'm looking to buy a lot of small sensory/fidget toys in one place.

Amazon seem to have a load of bundles but with random bits I don't really want included.

I want good quality. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you

May I ask is this for you or a child?

This is an forum for neurodiiverse mothers but there are many posts about their children as well. Who are you buying for yourself or a child?

Also it is seeming that adults talk about fidgts not toys for these days it seeing more.

I saw an occupational therapist who works in my borough for autism and they see all ages and via email at times linked to me what to buy and I bought what they linked to me is a fabric bag so small with a cube or ball inside and it seems to help me sometime to distract my thoughts, why I gave up I don’t know. If I find it in my email I will look for it and link it.

So whoever it is for I don’t really wish to know was trying to buy time lol.
Now I also took photos of what they brought to my home and in the box I can see sensory direct on it called Sensory Direct LED Cube light so even they have ordred from there it was sensory lights and I already some that some ceiling Bliss lights from Amazon so I stopped thinking I would be getting something special. Blisslights blue stars I ordered from Amazon a good couple of years before my ceiling. Some Sensory direct labels was also in among what they brought to mine and roller balls. There was another product called Lifemax lullaby Star Cube. I have never been on the website.

I myself ordered this from Amazon but who knows from another seller I don't says Amazon and sometimes you do a good search you find out not from Amazon. Many seem to think they are more reliable. I looked in my past orders and it pulled up blanks. So found it by searching in the search all the same seemingly.

I would absolutely recommend Kaiko fidgets for adults. They are an Australian company and their fidgets are fantastic. You can buy them from Funky Fidgets or from the Sensory Lab. Needoh are great for squishes, I love my dream drop. On Etsy try Fidgets by Amelie, again these are for adults but they are pretty and discrete. I also love tangles.

I also buy essential oils from Amazon to try and settle me think Lavender or Captativing rose diffuser oil if got a diffuser. It is by Dr Botanicals. Less amount I find is better really some cause nauseated feeling.

Good luck with what ever end products you get.

Never heard of these but I will certainly be looking them up.

Blows my mind apart really that some adults won't say looking for toys for themelves. I will pull up these things tomorrow and take look what they look like so thank you.

The trinkling of the sound of water can be so good for me as well in a waterfall. I have a mini one at home plugged use on my table and bit of creativity here and there and time pulled on. Also I have an egg timer in my living tried to offset whatever on myself for a time to hold and cool down. We can try anything these are not too big as well for a living room in glass and tasteful to my eye.

I love illumination but those big fish tubes as well never cutted it for m

Altered by OT staff blowing bubbles helps some moderate autistics in sensory zone and above autistics.. Two I picked up 79p from Tescos one morning so cheap right and outside my door few bubbles and up and away. Try to stick to rocking chair though and grounding on floor. Never tried weighted blanket as perception of heaviness on me is too much for me to bear. Picked one up though touched rubbed never could put it on myself. Couldnt cope with the thought.

In hospital some people a punch bag and I wondered what is this for and told it is a punch bag. I am not violent but whatever works for you and diagnosed autistic as was an adult.

For sensory stuff and fidget toys it's really personal. I love rolling and rubbing and twiddling so I tend to buy things to replicate that. The relief I've had from some things has nearly made me cry. Think about what your stims are and then look at things to replicate them. If you like worry stones look at Jazshouse- she makes what are essentially worry stones with things on them in various different designs. I find these are also brilliant to put in your pocket, they are discrete and can be used lots of different ways. I love fidget toys!
