The stunning oil slick version of our hand crafted caterpillar fidget will not disappoint. We have had our weighted beads individually oil slicked to create a stunning version of this Kaiko best seller. We also have this in a necklace version.
The weighted stainless steel beads roll between fingers beautifully. Many rub the cord also. This fidget is super soft in effect. You can push your fingers in between the beads for a similar sensation to the pea popper.
It is particularly great for those that stim with fabric, Blu-Tack rollers or like low sensory input as it glides between the fingers & is very calming. It is small, discreet and quiet. It is a quiet fidget, making it ideal for the workplace, travel or the classroom.
"It’s beautiful in colour and slides smoothly between your fingers or even on your skin. Small enough to be as discreet as you like. Lovely texture either sliding it through your fingers or seperate out each bead. Love it! Julie M July 2023"
"This has been worth every cent and I've only had it for a day! I'd been using regular bead bracelets to fiddle with when I'm anxious, but they just didn't feel that great and were a bit fragile. The way this is threaded feels sooo much more satisfying, I'm amazed how "soft" the metal can feel and the cords are excellent quality and silky smooth too. I've been keeping it loose in my jacket pocket to fidget with, or it's also easy enough to tie it around your wrist if you prefer the bracelet style! I'd absolutely recommend this and Jo is super lovely too. If they ever bring out a version with heavier weighted beads I'll be buying it instantly Julia July 2023"
Not suitable for 3 and under as beads can pose a choking risk.
Please note they are made using cord that can frey over timesue to friction. This is wear and tear and cannot be avoided. The time this takes to occur can depend on how the fidget is used.
