Orb Odditeez BeadiBallz Ultra Sparkle Ribbon Green

What you're getting

Grab a fidget toy that'll actually survive your kid's grip. This stretchy ball's packed with sparkly liquid and shimmery bits, so there's always something to look at while you're squeezing, stretching and squishing. The membrane's tough enough to handle whatever they throw at it — and they will throw a lot at it.

Slip it in a school bag or hand it over on a long car journey. It'll keep busy hands occupied for hours without falling apart after a week, which frankly is half the battle with these things.
