Tangle Toys, often simply called "Tangles", are toy items that also function as sensory aids for people with special needs. They consist of a series of twisting, rotatable parts that are connected to form a chain. This unique chain can be pulled and twisted into various shapes, and allows the user to rotate each part individually.
The benefits and applications of Tangles are versatile and include stress relief, sensory stimulation, improving motor skills, and promoting attention focus. They provide a useful tool to focus attention, which can help to minimize distractions and increase concentration on tasks. While the effectiveness of these tools can vary from person to person, many people have benefited from the use of Tangles and similar sensory toys.
The inventor of Tangle Toys, Richard X. Zawitz, a sculptor, toymaker, and inventor, was inspired by the Tibetan infinity knot and the concepts of energy and movement in the 1970s. This led him to create his first Tangle sculpture in 1975. The Tangle was later introduced as a toy, in a smaller and more portable format. The unique design allows the Tangle to be twisted and formed in an infinite number of ways, allowing the user to express their own creativity.
Tangle Toys are useful for a wide range of people, regardless of their age or skill. Whether you want to improve your fine motor skills, relieve stress or anxiety, or are looking for tactile and visual stimulation, the "Tangle Therapy Relax" is a great tool to try. Please note, as with any therapeutic tool, the effectiveness of Tangles can vary from person to person. Therefore, it's important to try out different strategies and tools to see what works best for you.
