A silly fun fact I actually picked up from the fountain pen community (my special interest): the reason why your hands smell weird after touching some metals (metal slinkies, copper fountain pens etc) is actually because some of the metal ions bond to lipids present on your skin, causing a distinct smell that may be offputting to some people. The metal in itself doesn't actually smell, it's the contact with skin causing a reaction. I don't particularly like the smell either, so I tend to go with plastic alternatives where possible.

My current main stim is just rubbing my fingers over the tomoe river paper in my hobonichi cousin (it's sooo smooth)

Lovely video as always!

kind of off topic, but needle felting is a great activity for autistic people who like to try new topics. it’s easy, doesnt take too long, has a satisfying needle movement, and creates a soft toy!!

If you're wondering the Squishmallow you have is a squishville! They're basically mini Squishmallows! I love rewatching this video, it's so relaxing. I don't have many fidgets because most I find way too loud or overwhelming. But oddly my wack tracks is fine, definitely need to pick up some tangles! And thank you again for making a safe space in the comments, it's lovely to see

I have very severe anxiety and I fidget a lot so I love these vids:) sometimes I feel embarrassed to have things because I am in highschool but these vids remind me I’m not weird for needing it

I always enjoy seeing what stim toys other people use! It introduces me to new things and is just a lovely time for me 🥰

I have a jellycat bee. They really are wonderfully soft (plus the bee has beans in, which is a nice feel). I got a number of my tangles at The Works in the UK, plus a variety of other stim toys. They get new things in fairly often.

when i was little and undiagnosed, i would carry around sylvan babies to stim with!!

the uk shop tink n stink sells lots of tangles and chewelery, and all things sensory by alyssa and fantistic are great etsy shops to buy handmade fidgets!

this just made me go and get a bunch of my old stim toys out 😄
One of my favourites is this little TY seal plush - I think it was part of their Beanie Boos range? It's perfectly hand-sized and I mostly use it as a sort of stress ball, but it has different types of stuffing in different areas (cotton wool and "beans") and the giant shiny eyes, so it's very tactile.
I love fidget spinners, but now the ones I had from a couple of years ago are worn out, and I'm having a hard time replacing them as they're no longer a "playground trend" so shops aren't selling them :(

Would love the spinny tree from early on. The specific rice you dad is called a d20 it has 20 sides, in case people are searching to it. If you love rice there are dice collecting videos on here. The molecule thing looks good too. WOOD animals Ostheimer a German brand also Eric and Albert in he uk they are often listed under Montessori toys. Many different animals available tho. But as you say they feel nice. Right with you on tangles and also jellycat plushies. The PEACH fuzz texture on the figure is called flock. Feels nice tho doesn't it. There is a tangle with that coating too. Thanks for sharing this.👍👍❤

Love this! I’ve been looking into stim toys for my anxiety and when i get very overwhelmed and need something to keep my hands busy while i ride it out. Thank you for creating a safe space <3

I like to stim with money. I am a cash budgeter and it is so satisfying to just flip through them, count the money, etc. i love the sounds the money makes too

[despaiirx]

I need your organization roomy thing
I try to be organized but in a Couple of hours or days I just go back to being messy 😢
But I love this video!!I do need more stim toys because I keep losing all of my parents stuff

[cathrinmeme]

Omggg the Jellycat mole is so cute! I have a jellycat octopus which is so soft and I love it because they put elastics in the tentacles so it’s really soothing to run ur hands through and pull on. Love the vid! :))

[theserenecrane]

Spinners are a auditory stim for me. I love the sound. That was a great video!

[butterbun]

Hi everyone! So they mentioned in this video they want the comments to be people sharing links and such so I thought I'd give it a go! I'm currently on the search for stim toys that are on keychains preferably not from Amazon because those are all over priced and cheaply made! I prefer things like sensory brushes (or anything with a bumpy or squishy texture) pressable buttons, crunchy things but I just haven't found anything but popits on keychains :<

[camiheals]

I love the art ball. It’s my favorite fidget/stim toy that I have!
