A quiet tool for busy rooms.
Teachers, counsellors, psychologists and occupational therapists were among the first people to ask us where to buy the Coconut Oil Squishy in bulk. Here's why it works in professional settings, and a few ways it's being used.
Why it suits a classroom or therapy room
- It's silent. No clicking, popping or squeaking, so one child using it doesn't distract twenty others.
- It's discreet. Muted colours and a plain shape mean older students and adults will actually use it at a desk without feeling like they're holding a toy.
- It's mouldable, not bouncy. It stays where it's put and holds its shape, so it doesn't end up thrown across the room.
- It's easy to clean. A wipe with a damp cloth between users.
- It's inexpensive to replace, which matters when things get lost or well-loved.
Ways it's being used
- In a calm-down corner or regulation station
- As a fidget during carpet time, reading or listening tasks
- In a "sensory toolkit" a student keeps in their desk or bag
- On the table during counselling or therapy sessions, for the client to hold while talking
- In transitions — something to focus on while lining up or waiting
- In staff rooms and open-plan offices as a quiet desk fidget for adults
A note on claims
The Coconut Oil Squishy is a sensory and fidget toy. It isn't a therapeutic device and we don't make clinical claims for it. It's one small tool that many practitioners find useful alongside the strategies they already use. You know your students and clients; we just make it easy to keep a few on hand.
