Best fidget toys for a 5 yo

My DC almost certainly has adhd (has almost all the signs, and it runs in the family). Our school has said they would allow small fidget toys to help dc sit still. Any recommendations of suitable little toys which are not too distracting, but provide something for the little hands to do? Thank you.

It's good that the school are willing to make some adjustments. I don't have any recommendations though sorry, I just bought some from The Works.

Does your DS have an ECHP yet?

The works do a set of ten different toys for about £10, I think. We use them and my son's nursery used the same. They were all small and quiet. Worth trying a few to see if your son prefers eg spinners or stress balls.

Tangles are often the go to in schools because they're quiet and keep hands busy.

No, we will start the process this school year if we can

Thank you, I have ordered some tangles!
