Product Description

Technically, a Tangle is a series of 90-degree curves, connected and able to pivot at each joint. It has no beginning and no end--just continuous motion. The Tangle Jr. fits right in the palm of your hand. Made of plastic, the multicolored pieces snap together and swivel in all kinds of ways to satisfy the need to fidget and be creative. Warning: can be addictive! Recommended by therapists and teachers for children with ADHD and Autism Experientially, a Tangle is much more. The motion it creates is hypnotic. Adults and children of all ages can't seem to put the toy down. Tangle, Jr. may look like regular toys but they are learning tools. Many children will focus better and absorb things more quickly if they have something to do with their hands. Tangles are a wonderful toy for children (and adults) to play with on trips in the car, on a plane or anytime. Tangle Jr. is a perfect way to relax. As it slips through your fingers and knots up in your hand, you can feel your body's tension release. You can play with Tangle wherever you are. Children (and adults) of all ages love to Tangle. It provides something to do during travel or quiet times. It stimulates your brain as it helps increase finger dexterity. Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts. Colors and Styles May Vary Each Tangle Jr. is approximately 7" long when connected, each link is approximately 1" long. When disconnected, the Tangle measures approximately 15" end-to-end. Plastic with multiple colored links. The links are a mix of clear and colors and vary randomly. You will receive one of the six varieites as pictured

This is, in my opinion, the best office/desk toy. I am on the phone all day doing cusotmer serice and this thing for real keeps me sane and stress-free. I makes my brain feel good and relax! Plus its only like $3.00 so you cant beat it. People who I sit by will pick it up and they'll be like "This thing rules where'd you get it?" And only online I guess. It's not at like Toys R Us or anything because belive me i've looked like everywhere. I'td be a good office present, too. Buy multiple!!!

My son has Sensory Processing Dysfunction (Disorder) and we needed to get him something that he could fidget with for the times that we needed him to be still and/or quiet. This product worked well, but be warned that they come apart very easily, and once my son discovered that he continued to take them apart (and join them to the other ones he had), making a GIANT Tangle toy.

I have a daughter with an OCD disorder where she pulls her hair, and a son with Autism. Each of my children have fallen in love with the hairy tangle. With this, I have purchased almost one of every other type of tangle, including the tangle jr., that I could find. One of each, for EACH child. I, my husband, and my children's Psychologist, all think they are very good for my children. My daughter's OCD disorder has become more controlled and she is less likely to submit to her compulsion than she would've been previously, due to having something to keep her hands busy, with her tangles. Her teacher has even allowed her to keep one on her desk at school for times like tests, or anything that causes her to be nervous where her compulsion surfaces. On the other hand, my Autistic son is subject to melt downs, and I find that handing him a tangle or two will help him simmer down more quickly while in the midst of a meltdown. Also, my husband even loves the tangle fidget toys while he is involved in watching a movie, or while working and reading over, or thinking of what to put into, a particular e-mail, or something that takes his undivided attention. Usually he would bite his nails when he would become engrossed and now he will reach for a tangle on occasion. When he does, he doesn't bite his nails. These devices are excellent for anyone with similar compulsion disorders that involve their hands, or if you just need to get someone's attention, like my son in the middle of a meltdown. We have chrome tangles (in every color), hairy tangles (in many various colors), big tangles, tangle jr., transparent tangles, original tangle, just so many variations... I highly recommend the Tangle in all of it's various forms.
