We got the short craft sticks we used here on amazon – https://amzn.to/3k718Fa – for the fidget spinner craft. You could always cut regular popsicle sticks shorter and round the edges.

Any skate bearing will work. We bought ours on Amazon and there are a bunch of different models, but this is the one we used for this fidget spinner project – https://amzn.to/411G2Zn

We didn’t need to degrease the skate bearings in this scenario. But there are several videos on YT on how to do it.

Yes, a hot glue gun and hot glue works well instead of the glue we mentioned in the article for DIY fidget spinners.

Thanks Darko, it really sounds like you are heavily invested in your kids and encouraging them to improve. Glad to hear fidget spinners are part of your positive parenting model.

Yes Yo Ass. If you don’t want to make a fidget spinner, you can easily buy one. In fact, in the article above we have a bunch of our favorite store bought fidget spinners listed.

Thanks so much for those alternate ideas. Since kids are so different, their reaction to fidget spinners can be too! I love the idea of a smooth rock or stress ball.

Yes that is a skate bearing and I have updated the link in the supply list to be the exact skate bearing that we used in this fidget spinner – https://amzn.to/411G2Zn
