Fidget blankets are soft, colorful, and fun. They come in various shapes and sizes and are designed to provide comfort and relaxation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they’re also incredibly useful for anyone who deals with sensory issues or even if you\u2019re just prone to fidget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fidget blankets are a great way to calm down and relax. They are usually designed to have several different parts that offer multiple ways to fidget, such as the ability to move around the edges of the blanket, roll up into balls, or use your fingers to pick at the fabric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While making a fidget blanket might seem hard at first, they’re actually super-easy to make, and only need a few simple things you probably already have at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this easy-to-follow guide, we’ll teach you how to make your very own fidget blanket in just a few simple steps! So let’s get started, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is A Fidget Blanket?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fidget blankets are a type of quilt specially designed for people who are prone to nervousness or agitation. These blankets are generally small to fit in the lap (usually about 18″ x 21″) and feature a variety of fabrics and designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are covered in a variety of adornments, tassels, and fidgets, which are designed to provide activity for the fidgeting hands of people with autism, dementia, ADHD, and other health issues that cause fidgeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fidget blankets can be made out of any number of materials, but they are typically soft and occasionally heavy. The goal is to create something that provides comfort and distraction for fidgeting hands by providing an array of options for the fidgeter to grab, play with, or otherwise manipulate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different textures and raised sections also provide stimulation, so mixing materials and adding embroidery is also common in fidget blankets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
