Banana Stretch – Sensory Fidget Toy

Why It Works

• Sand-filled stretch toys give slow, heavy resistance rather than a springy snap-back, which is much more settling and much closer to real heavy work.
• It holds whatever shape it is left in, so a child is making something rather than just squeezing.

How to use

• Quiet enough to survive a classroom. Keep it in a pocket rather than on the desk.
• Works one-handed, so it can be used while listening or waiting.

OT Tip

• Good for a child who squeezes or pinches other people when they are overwhelmed. It gives that urge somewhere to go, which works far better than asking them to stop.

Sand-filled fidgets.

• Adult supervision is highly recommended for any child who mouths objects.
• Inspect before every use. Discard it immediately if the skin splits — loose sand is a choking and eye hazard.
• Not suitable for children under 3.
• Keep away from heat and sharp objects.
• Wash hands after use if any sand escapes.
