The Caterpillar is an awesome sensory tool, which feels amazing to use.
The weighted stainless steel beads roll between fingers beautifully. Many rub the cord also. This fidget is super soft in effect. You can push your fingers in between the beads for a similar sensation to the pea popper.
It is particularly great for those that stim with fabric, Blu-Tack rollers or like low sensory input as it glides between the fingers & is very calming.
It is small, discreet and quiet.
Given it is a quiet fidget, it makes it ideal for the workplace, travel or the classroom.
These have been effective for those who:
- Hair twirl or pulling
- Stim with fabric
- Roll Blu-Tac
- Love squishies and soft sensory input
- Also wonderful for decreasing agitation.

Keeping the fidgets sanitised - The Caterpillar is fine to wipe, many customers have theirs regularly go through washing machine. The trick is to wipe excess moisture off them. If left wet/damp they can rust in appearance a little but generally does not affect function. Wiping with an antibacterial wipe or damp cloth then drying off thoroughly is the key.
Please note the Caterpillar is made using cord that can frey over time due to friction. This is wear and tear and cannot be avoided. The time this takes to occur can depend on how the fidget is used.
Keep out of reach of children under three years old as the beads can pose a choking hazard.
Materials: Beads (stainless steel) & cord (polyester)
