Quick and easy to make, these sweet fidgets are so fun to create! So many colors and combinations make each their own.
I use stuffing to fill them, but you could use other objects like marbles, beads, dice, or other small things that would entice hands to play. Although fidgets are toys, they are not recommended for children under 3 years of age.
