#2Anybody tried a fidget spinner? My wife has adhd and likes the idea but we haven't ordered one. Are these interesting for 5 minutes and then shelved? or do they have some lasting appeal?

#3These have started showing up all over our office. Kind of like a stress ball, but louder.

#4I bought a 3-pack on amazon recently after visiting family over Mother's Day weekend seeing all my little cousins and niece/nephews with one.
I definitely see the appeal after toying around with one.

#5My brother in law bought one the moment he saw one. Returned it for a different color. Now he has 9. It's been 4 days. These things are definitely a phenomenon and the eCommerce world is going crazy.

I laser cut one with my niece[1] thought it was cool, and ordered one. It was easily worth the $10.
[1]I try to spend as much time as I can teaching my niece how to make things. She had a spinner, and j wanted to show her that she could easily just make one too.

#7I HIGHLY recommend that anybody who has family or friends who are interested in these things (kids i mean) just take a few minutes and build one. They're super cheap, and super easy.
Go to your friendly local makerspace if you don't have the tools to do it yourself.

My mother in law suggested that we get one to see if our daughter will do that instead of sucking her thumb when tired
Other night she had thumb in her mouth, fidget spinner in the other hand, so I'm chalking that up as a fail
They're pretty cheap ($5 or so), so it's a pretty low cost experiment if your wife is curious

Do you have instructions for this that you've used with success?
