I was interested in this subject because I needed something to fidget with when I was in class. I always liked to have a stress toy, otherwise known as a fidget object. I have found that it helps me to concentrate. Sometimes the fidget toy I have had are not always helpful. I have used many fidgets toys.

Fidget toys helps students concentrate by preventing boredom and lack of focus. Using any fidget toys has proved to be much more important than which fidget toys was being used.
FOLLOW UP-
I liked my project and the job I did but if I had to change it I would have bought more fidget toys so then I wouldn't only have two of everything, and I also would have bought different types of fidget toys.
