Fidgets are a great way to keep settle your anxious energy and give your hands something to do. I tend to use crochet for this. However, my kids prefer fidgets. They have a pop it fidget that makes a POP sound. The feeling of the POP is what they like but not the POP sound. This crochet pop it fidget is a great alternative for it. It gives the POP sensation while remaining silent. Yarn options are vast, therefore the texture of the Pop it can be made of several different kinds. Below is our FREE pattern for our Pop It Keychain.
