In world where we’reall basically stressed out and can’t focus onanything, it was only a matter of time before that trickled down to our kids. But the idea around fidget toys (remember thosespinners?) isn’t that new, but today it’s all about the Pop It. Here’s everything you need to know.

What’s the deal with the pop fidget toy anyway?!

To no surprise, the Pop It became super popular thanks to all the viral videos on TikTok (with more than 84 million views, in fact). Basically, the Pop It is a fidget toy that’s typically made of soft silicone with poppable bubbles you can use and reuse over and over again. They’re typically really colorful (some of the best sellers are rainbow and tie-dye colors), a toy that’s really easy to clean, and is said to help easy stress and help you focus a bit more.

But, do they really work?

But do they really work? There’s a lot of conflicting information out there about their actual effectiveness to help with things like anxiety, stress, and focus. And while we’re certainly not medical professionals around here, we did research and learned from Dr. Pilar Trelles (from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in NYC) that,yes, these fidget toyscan help us work through higher-than-normal levels of anxiety and stress at times. According to Dr. Trelles,

When someone is hypersensitive to the environment they might bite their nails, pull out their cuticles, or pinch their skin…[these] offer a less harmful way to expend that nervous energy.

Our opinion is that these are justfun and may help you relax a bit, de-stress, and focus. Remember, theyare toys after all. But, please, be sure to always consult with your doctor if you or a loved one has any questions at all about your mental health, focus/concentration levels, etc.

Some of the most popular pop fidget toys are…

1.

They’re really easy to clean (by hand or toss it in the dishwasher), they’re made of non-toxic silicone, and the popping feature actually sticks – so you won’t have to worry about it popping back out right away.


2.

Chuckle + Roar Pop It

This one made ourrunner up pick. It’s one of highest quality options out there from a totally trusted toy brand (Chuckle & Roar), made of safe silicone, and easy to clean. When comparing to some other top selling options, this one was almost double the price, so we didn’t love that. But at least you know you’re getting quality. They also have an exclusive XL version sold at Target that just made their Christmas list this year.

He even comes in a variety of different colors to choose from like olive green (pictured above), blue and black, white and black, and red and black. Our only gripe? We’re not entirely sure he’s officially licensed from Star Wars.
