Busy Fingers Tactile Ruler
MTA Teachers Resource Catalogue Page: 610
Busy Fingers Tactile Ruler is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Keep hands busy and minds focused with the Elizabeth Richards Busy Fingers Tactile Ruler-a discreet and effective sensory tool designed to support students who struggle to sit still or stay attentive during class. Crafted from FDA-approved food-grade silicone, this 32 cm long and 8 cm wide ruler features a textured surface that provides calming tactile stimulation.
While it may look like a standard classroom ruler, it's not designed for measuring-instead, it's a socially acceptable, classroom-friendly fidget that helps children manage energy, anxiety, or restlessness. Whether used during independent work, quiet reading, or homework time, this tactile tool promotes self-regulation and focus without distracting others.
Its flexible, durable design makes it perfect for desks, bags, or pencil cases-ready to offer support whenever it's needed.
Educational Benefits:
- Encourages focus and attention through subtle tactile input
- Helps regulate energy levels and reduce anxiety in a non-disruptive way
- Supports sensory processing needs, ideal for students with ADHD or anxiety
- Offers a quiet and appropriate outlet for fidgeting in classroom settings
Classroom & Play Activity Ideas:
- Provide during seated tasks to help children stay engaged and grounded
- Recommend as a homework companion for students needing help focusing after school
- Include in calm-down kits or sensory toolboxes for moments of overwhelm
- Use in classroom stations where students can access sensory tools as needed
Product Details:
- Age: Suitable for children aged 3+ years (with adult supervision)
- Size: 32(L) x 8(W) cm
- Material: FDA-approved food-grade silicone
- Function: Sensory fidget tool - not suitable for measuring
- Care Instructions: Wipe clean with a damp cloth or mild soap
Safety Information:
