Let me start by saying this fidget toy set is a MASSIVE hit with kids. I used it for my nephew's birthday party, and the sheer variety kept 20+ kids entertained for hours. The bright colors and fun textures (squishy, poppable, stretchy) made it impossible for them to resist digging into the treasure box.

The GOOD: The value is unbeatable—1,000 pieces means you can use these for goodie bags, classroom prizes, or even as stocking stuffers. Standouts include the durable pop-its (the dinosaur-shaped one was fought over!), sensory rings (great for anxious hands), and the mini fidget spinners. Parents even asked me where I bought them!

The NOT-SO-GOOD: Some items are TINY (I’m talking choking-hazard tiny), so I had to weed out beads and loose parts before handing them to kids under 5. A few cheapies like flimsy sticky hands broke immediately—but honestly, at this price point, I expected some duds.

PRO TIP: Perfect for teachers! I split the set into weekly prize bins for my cousin’s 3rd-grade class. The maze balls and snap bracelets were instant favorites during quiet time. Just supervise younger kids closely—those mini squishies are adorable but tempting to mouth.

Final verdict? For $20-ish, this chaotic rainbow box delivers way more fun than frustration. Just grab some ziplock bags to sort the gems from the junk!
