‘Tangles and fidget toys can aid concentration and reduce anxiety by providing additional stimulation for sensory seekers. They can also help provide stress and anxiety relief and come in a variety of forms including metal tangles, stretchy string, bubble toys and maze toys.

Sand timers are great for developing concentration skills. They provide a way to judge how much time is left, without having to know how to tell the time, which is perfect for setting time limits for tasks and activities to prevent them from getting bored. If your child is easily distracted by visual stimulation toys, then you could use a digital timer, so they can listen out for the timer instead.’
