These Kaiko Caterpillar necklaces are an awesome wearable sensory tool, feel amazing to use & look good with anything. Roll the beads between fingers whilst wearing it.
These have been effective for those who
- Hair twirl or pull
- Suffer with trichotillomania
- Stim with fabric
- Roll Blu-Tac
- Love squishies and soft sensory input
- Also wonderful for decreasing agitation for those with dementia and anxiety.
They come in one size that will fit all but can easily be shortened to the wearer's preferred length (see below). They have a break away clasp for safety if pulled & come in a storage container.
Wearable sensory tools are often most effective as the hand starts to use them often before we consciously register we need it, helping keep anxiety at a lower level.
Kaiko Fidget sensory tools can assist with...
- Supporting mental health & reducing anxiety
- Emotional regulation & sensory input
- Focus & concentration - great study or work tool
- Tactile awareness & desensitisation
- Hand function – improving fine motor, strength & circulation
- Managing stress
- Active listening - can increase focus & attention

Not suitable for children under three years old.
Keep out of reach of children under three years old as the beads can pose a choking hazard.
To shorten necklace:
Simply cut and retie knot at each end to the desired length & pull knot back into the casing of the clasp. We find the easiest way to find optimum length is to have arms at right angle across belly. The bead length should be about at this height.
