Impresa Monkey Noodles Fidget Toys for Focus & Calm - Multicolor, 12 x 3 x 0.75 in - 5 Pack Sensory Stretchy String Fidgets for Kids & Toddlers 3+

The kids are loving these! They will be great when school starts back to keep hands busy and minds focused! They are not sticky, worth the investment, vivid colors, and built to last!

As an adult, I found these noodles are more interesting and useful than expected. I had no idea of fidget-type products, so glad I learned of them and landed here. I find the noodles somehow very comforting, just seeing them is nice, but the real fun is handling them. I now keep them scattered around the house so one is always available.The feel of them is delightful, very malleable and squish-able. They also ounce back to original shape immediately, no matter how many times or how far you stretch it or squish it.. There are different ways to use this noodle too, not just stretching for fun. Sometimes I curl it up, press it between my palms and smoosh away. Sometimes I stretch the noodle out and raise my arms up and back, thus creating a nice tension in my upper back to improve my posture. I love that part of it. I can fold one in half and create more tension. I'm sure there are other handy ways to use it for this type of thing.These noodles have lots of possibilities, use your imagination & have fun! I do. I look forward to seeing other fidget product from this company.I had a problem with my first box, contacted customer service and that day, they got back to me & made things right. You can't get better than that!

My little guy loves these!!

Update: Bumping up rating to 4/5 stars because I'm impressed with "Impresa Products" customer service for helping to correct the problem with my order. I have reordered same product tonight and will update review again after receipt of the new order.Original review:This was purchased as a Christmas gift, and 2 of the 3 "Monkey Noodle" strings I examined were defective right out of the package. The green & blue strings have a chunk of material missing (over half of the diameter) from the last inch of 1 end. There are 5 stretchy strings in total but 2 were given to children outside my home, I have no idea if those were damaged or perfectly fine.However, I have given the product 3 stars for the purple string I was actually able to try out. It has a great texture and feel. It works as described and was fun to stretch & handle. Seems durable, as long as not stretched too far or punctured. Would've been 5/5 Stars for a fantastic product, except for the unfortunate manufacturing defects. I would have returned the package to Amazon, but it was a Christmas gift for my children.

These things are STRETCHY! They're better than the last ones I bought.

These are meant to be used as fidget toys but that's honestly an underestimation of their power.Upon getting these my roommate and I realized if you stretch and release them right they will fly in the air. This was followed by an hour of shooting these things in the air to see how far and how high they can go (it's very far and very high). During all that they didn't tear or break at all, so super durable.After that, I forgot about them for a while until I got one out to fidget with while doing homework. My cat was immediately fascinated and after shooting one across the room for him, he became obsessed. He's like a dog with a tennis ball. He chases them, carries them around in his mouth, plays with them all the time. I can't fidget with them anymore because he'll just steal them from me. I think I've created a monster.Anyway, even after being played with by the cat 24/7 they still haven't torn or broken so kudos for making them so durable my cat appreciates it.

Great for birthday parties

Our 2 boys have sensory processing disorder and are also hyperactive and tend to run high motors. They got into a tug of war on the couch with one of these bands, and as the words were coming out of my mouth for them to stop, sure enough one let go and the other was snapped right in the face with the end that was released. Left a welt on his cheek. They seem like a good product for calm children to play solo with, but not to be left in the hands of high-energy kids who might use them the wrong way. Just be sure to supervise!
