Little Companions, Big Learning Moments

These pocket-sized sensory fidget toys aren't just adorable collectibles—they're powerful classroom focus tools disguised as fun. Each CritterClick character brings tactile sensory input to curious fingers and imaginative minds, bridging the gap between fidgeting and focused learning in primary school settings.

What They Are:

Beautifully crafted, palm-sized classroom-friendly fidget toys made from durable, child-safe materials. Each CritterClick has a satisfying "click" mechanism that little hands can't resist, channeling restless energy into productive focus during lessons.

Why They Matter for Learning:

In a world of digital distractions, CritterClicks offer a tangible connection to learning. They transform fidgeting—often seen as disruptive—into a constructive sensory experience for SEND students that actually enhances concentration and engagement in the primary classroom.

For Primary School Teachers:

Your classroom heroes for those wiggly moments! CritterClicks provide the sensory input for focus many students crave, helping them:

• Stay engaged during circle time or guided reading sessions
• Transition between curriculum activities with less disruption
• Self-regulate emotions during challenging learning tasks
• Participate more fully in group discussions
• Connect physical objects to story elements for deeper comprehension in literacy lessons

"The difference in my students' focus when they have a CritterClick in hand is remarkable. Even my most restless learners can settle into story time when they have something to quietly manipulate." – Mrs. Williams, Reception Teacher

"My son struggles with sitting still for homework, but his CritterClick has become his 'thinking buddy.' He actually asks for it when it's time to practice reading!" – James, father of 6-year-old
