3 Soothing Gadgets for Kids

Let a little superhero’s restless hands click, spin, flip, glide, and roll nervous energy away with one of these Marvel or DC Fidget Cubes. $13 each.

On one side of a Mermaid Positivity Pillow there’s an illustration and inspiring message like “Fairies Soar” or “Sharks Think.” The other side is covered with sequins that you can “draw” on and then “erase” with a few swipes of a finger. (It’s so calming and satisfying you’ll want a pillow for yourself!) Your kiddo can also soothe while on the go with a matching sequin bracelet. $25 to $48 for pillow, and $15 for bracelet.

Help your child wind down before bed with Westminster Color Mix, a mesmerizing, twominute liquid timer. It’s meditation at its most colorful and kid-friendly. $9.
