Needohs have become the must-have sensory toys for high school students trying to find focus and motivation in the classroom. 

“I like fidget toys because they are very satisfying and help me calm down and concentrate. My friends would let me play with theirs to help me concentrate so I ended up buying my own,” freshman Abram Nickolaus said. 

Needoh has a variety of shapes.

“My favorite Needoh shape is the ice cube because I think it is the perfect size and consistency for being able to carry it around all of the time. I bring mine to school every day,” senior Brianna Miller said. 

While some become collectors, others rely on their friends and family to provide them. 

“I started liking Needohs because of my sisters. They have a bunch of them, and I just started picking them up and using them because they are fun. Once I started playing with them, I realized that they are not that bad. I have not ever bought a Needoh for myself, but my sisters love them so I steal theirs, and my parents buy them for me, too. We usually buy them from Walmart or Amazon,” junior Jameson Barnhart said. 

Fidget toys have been around for years, so some people have been collecting them for a while now. 

“I first started using Needohs when I was younger. I had a whole collection, and I got back on them once they became popular again. I think they will be around for a long time, just not as popular and hard to find because even before they became a trend people still used them. I like fidget toys because it makes me more focused on my work and takes away my stress,” freshman Ella Brawley said. 

Since Needohs are so popular, they can become hard to find in stores; people have been buying the off-brand ones. 

“I am not against off-brands, and I think that they are good because they have fun and different textures and insides that make them cool. I started liking Needohs because my friends always have them and we always play with them, so I do not really have a preference,” sophomore Genevieve Schroeder said. 

Needohs can be used as fun toys for people to bond with, but some people use them to manage their stress and energy to get through the day. 

“I like fidget toys because they help me focus when I am doing homework in my room. It also helps me when I have a lot of energy that I do not know what to do with. I especially like the ball or ice cube ones because I can throw them around and play catch with them instead of just squeezing them,” Barnhart said.
