Toys for ADHD kids

So I don’t know if my child has ADHD but I do and there appears to be signs (I’ve said on another thread).

But someone mentioned toys and I thought this might be a good idea - what particular toys did/do your ADHD kids respond to?

thanks

I have asd and adhd children and they both use the same things, but my son who has adhd most favourite is a peanut ball, he bounces, rolls all over it, they have a spinning chair, fidget toys they use regularly too but I wish I had brought a peanut ball a lot sooner it definitely helps him

What age? What are you wanting the toys for particularly? (e.g. reduce screen time, develop skills, get energy out etc).

I’ve just had a look at spinning chairs and they go up to age 18 and will take a load of 220lbs so I think I might get one for the whole family. I’ve looked at the peanut balls and they make me think of testicles 🤣 Ds would love it! He likes my gym ball. Thank you for this thread.
