Oil Slick Smooth Mini Hand Rollers, by Kaiko Fidgets
With both smooth and textured options, these are a wonderful sensory support for ANY age.
Smaller both in length and diameter than the orignial hand rollers, these feel amazing in the hand and are not too large for the pocket. It is likely for large hands these will feel too small, but perfect for average to small adult hands and for children.
Rotate in your hand, roll between your palms or roll to massage are three great ways you can use them. To gain an idea of how they feel to use - if you have some fat textas on hand place two in the same hand, side by side, and rotate around themselves.
Some like to put the metallic ones in the fridge between uses.
These are approx 145 grams and a great stim product. The most common comment we hear when people try it is "ahhhh" & "this is so satisfying"
Also helpful for hand function & we have had great outcomes using with individuals with dementia, Parkinson's, MS and other hand function difficulties.
Hand squeeze exercises and tendon glide action are two exercises that are used for it and both are/can be emulated with the hand roller. Wrist stretch with weights is another and the hand roller can be used for that too. Generally best to keep selected weight to the lighter styles (145, 180 gram or 100 gram). You may feel a gentle pull or stretch during use. However, should stop if experiencing any pain.
