Review on ๐Ÿงฉ Optimized Rhode Island Novelty Stress Assortment by David Edwards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Squeeze Ball is way better than tapping with pencils.

I bought this set of squeeze balls to use in the classroom for students who have difficulty sitting in a chair, need to move and fidget, get angry or stressed easily and just want a positive, quiet way want to spend some energy. I removed squeeze balls that were shaped like regular outdoor balls (basketball, soccer, football) because I didn't want kids to associate them with the idea of kicking, throwing, or tossing them across the room . Since it was such a large set and reasonably priced, I still had plenty to use. Our favorites in the set are actually the stars. The stars are almost perfectly shaped to wrap your fingers around the tips. Even after weeks of use, children still enjoy using them when needed in class. Now we have a signal for the child to jump with the pen. I squeeze them with my hand and they know what I'm saying, use a stress ball instead. Now they take them out and stop bouncing their pencils. It made everyone around them happier, but especially the teachers. I know they may not have been specifically designed for this purpose, but they work very well for this purpose. I did not receive any rebates, products or compensation for my review of this product. Just hoping to help others with some great ideas on how to use these balls properly. With these balls, the classroom becomes a more pleasant place.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Some problems
