What is a "fidget spinner"?
A fidget spinner is a small, handheld toy consisting of a central part with a round piece in the middle that allows the blades to spin around it. The goal of the toy is to keep it spinning by using the fingers to give it a quick push. Fidget spinners became popular in the mid-2010s, especially as a tool to help people focus or reduce stress. To play, one holds the center and flicks one of the blades to start the spin. The spinner can be balanced on a finger or spun on a surface. It is simple but provides a satisfying sensation and can help improve focus or relieve anxiety.
