My Newest Find: Bouncy Bands

While surfing blogs today I found the perfect thing for my little "fidgeter" this year. They are called Bouncy Bands. This is probably not a new thing, but it is the first time I have seen it so I was super excited to try it! I don't know about you, but I have a student in my room that simply can not be still no matter where she is. I am going to try this to see if she can focus while working. 

         

According to the website: "Bouncy Bands for Chairs help students move while they work. Children enjoy bouncing their feet and feeling the tension to relieve their anxiety, hyperactivity, frustration, or boredom. The support pipes attach to the Bouncy Band to prevent them from slipping off the chair legs and becoming a nuisance."

For those of you interesting in this product, they can be found on Amazon from around $12 each. The blog I found them on was using Donors Choose to fund getting them for all her fidgeting students. Just a thought in case some of you have too many "fidgeters" to fund bouncy bands for. 
I'll be sure to blog again about my new find after I've had a chance to try it out!
