Do you mean fidget spinners ? They have worked for a short time with a couple of our clients with dementia. I have found that the fidget cubes have worked better and are easy to hold in the hand.

Thanks Erica. I think they are different but you have answered my question, they work for a short time and that is what I have found.
We found the muffs and pillows with buttons and bells caused a problem with low cognative people as they could pull these items off and put them in their mouths.
I absolutely love this site. I find the resources and ideas invaluable in my role as a Recreational Activities Officer in a large Nursing Home. The abundance of ideas, quizzes, and printable forms are helping me help the residents find their inner “fun” which had previously been missing. THANK YOU from myself and the residents!!
