The Latest Craze

I'm sure by now you've seen them or you've heard about them. Fidget spinners are the latest craze amongst the tweens and pre-tweens. 

As a teacher, they drive me crazy and have been banned by our administration. Amen!

This season's hottest toy is marketed as an antidote for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety and autism.

"Fidget spinners" are small, ball-bearing devices that the user can rotate between his or her fingers. The momentum of the toy provides a pleasing sensory experience while the challenge of tossing, transferring and twirling the spinners has become an issue and a safety hazard.

Remember my black eye about a month ago? It was caused by a fidget spinner being released from my niece's fingers and quickly flung in the direction of my right eye. Ugh! It hurt horribly bad.

Remember when this drove teachers nuts?

Here's for you moms.... the original fidget spinner! Spin on!

Fidget Spinners, y'all!
