Fidget toy
A fidget toy is typically a small object used for pleasant but purposeless activity with the hands (manual fidgeting or stimming). Some users believe these toys help them tolerate anxiety, frustration, agitation, boredom, and excitement.[1] They are also commonly used by those with sensory difficulties.
A "flippy chain" type fidget toy
A fidget spinner
Fidget objects such as worry beads have long existed, but the types and popularity have dramatically increased since the fad for fidget spinners in 2017.
