Welcome to Fidget Toys to Improve Learning Webinar

In this training session – we are going to explore the concept of ‘fidget toys’ in their capacity to aid learning and regulate emotions.

We will look at the neuroscience behind using these learning tools and how they can help children maintain focus, regulate emotions, and have more opportunities to stay in the classroom without the need to regulate in another space.

Learning Objectives:

  • What is the difference between a fidget toy and a learning tool?
  • How do we know if it’s the right tool for the child?
  • What is the science behind using these tools and maintaining focus in the classroom?
  • How can these learning tools help children regulate emotionally?
