The weighted stainless steel beads roll between fingers beautifully. Many rub the cord also. This fidget is super soft in effect.   You can push your fingers in between the beads for a similar sensation to the pea popper.  

It is particularly great for those that stim with fabric, Blu-Tack rollers or like low sensory input as it glides between the fingers & is very calming. It is small, discreet and quiet. Given it is a quiet fidget, it makes it ideal for the workplace, travel or the classroom.

Many convert this to a fidget worn on wrist  - There are 2 differnet ways to convert it to be worn on wrist.  See images & videos.  

"Extremely discreet. Perfect for tween to have in her pocket at school for those overwhelming moments. Harriet 2025"

"Love it! Feels so nice to just run between your fingers, great for taking places as you can hold it in one hand and just put in your pocket. Similar to beaded necklace. Love the weight and oil slick colour too. Morgane 2025"

"I'm so glad your fidgets are durable. I've accidentally put my caterpillar fidget through the washing machine twice and the dryer once now because I keep forgetting it's in my work shirt pocket. 😅🤣 I absolutely adore my caterpillar fidget the first time I used it, I cried because of the instant relief it gave me.Please keep doing what you are doing because it helps so many people.  Samantha May 2024"

"I love these so much. They remind me of ‘worry beads’ from Greece. The feel is extremely satisfying and it’s very quiet. It’s perfect for me because I wanted a quiet and discrete fidget I could use while studying. Dimity Jan 2025"

"I am a recluse but forced myself to go to a comedy show (1st trigger leaving the house). I was running late (2nd trigger). Had to park a bit away so had to walk really fast (3rd trigger). By the time we got to the venue where there were heaps of people (final trigger) I was really struggling with anxiety/panic. I couldn't get my breath. It going to buy more because knowing my luck I will lose it because it is on the smaller side 🤣 was awful. What saved me? This hand caterpillar I had slipped in my pocket before leaving the house. I don't leave the house without one after that experience. Something I HIGHLY recommend. THANK YOU! Bec October 2023"

Not suitable for 3 and under as beads can pose a choking risk

n.b. The antennae needs to pulled every so often to keep knots tight.  Please note they are made using cord that can frey over time due to friction.  This is wear and tear and cannot be avoided.  The time this takes to occur can depend on how the fidget is used. 

These have been effective for those who

  • hair twirl or pull 
  • stim with fabric 
  • roll  Blu-Tac 
  • love soft sensory input
  • also wonderful for decreasing agitation & worry for example for those with dementia.

We also have this in bracelet , necklace & hoodie cord replacement versions.

" I am a late diagnosed female. I have always been a hair twirler. I was curious about this fidget as it states it is close to hair twirling and it’s a nice soft fidget. I absolutely love this fidget, it helps me manage my anxiety and soothes me." Tracey M June 2023

 

"This has been worth every cent and I've only had it for a day! I'd been using regular bead bracelets to fiddle with when I'm anxious, but they just didn't feel that great and were a bit fragile. The way this is threaded feels sooo much more satisfying, I'm amazed how "soft" the metal can feel and the cords are excellent quality and silky smooth too. I've been keeping it loose in my jacket pocket to fidget with, or it's also easy enough to tie it around your wrist if you prefer the bracelet style! I'd absolutely recommend this and Jo is super lovely too. If they ever bring out a version with heavier weighted beads I'll be buying it instantly Julia July 2023"

Materials:   Beads : Food Grade 304 stainless steel & cord polyester

    Not suitable for children under three years old due to small parts and choking risk.

    Keeping the fidgets sanitised. - They are fine to wipe , ours regularly go through washing machine, the trick is to wipe excess moisture off them. If left wet/damp (eg in washing machine lol) they can rust in appearance a little but generally does not affect function. wiping with an antibacterial wipe or damp cloth then drying off thoroughly is the key.

      I LOVE LOVE LOVE my caterpillar! I use it as a focus tool when I need to study. Having something in my hands to fidget with helps me concentrate and means I can stay reading for longer. It's discreet and almost silent which means I can also use it sitting in lectures and presentations.

      We love love love that you are finding it a great support! thank so much for the wonderful feedback and photo :) Jo

      Wow, as an adult with anxiety, I have tried a few different fidget 'toys' to try and help and this gave me that 'ahhh' moment. The rolling sensation between my fingers whilst also being able to be discreet in my pocket is fantastic!

      I am with you, this is the 'one' that does it for me. I wear the necklace version most days. :) Jo

      Absolutely!  Just select that option at check out.  

      Express Post orders are sent via Australia Post. Please refer to the Australia Post website for delivery time frames.  For items larger than Australia Post limits we use a range of courier services. 

      Do you ship internationally?

      We ship to most destinations around the world.  There are some set up for flat rate shipping. 

      Please note that charges do not include any duty/taxes charged by your country's port authorities (if applicable).  You will be responsible for any charges they may add.  We are unable to quote these as they vary immensely from country to country. 

      If you country isn't setup for flat rate shipping please email us a list of the products you are interested in and your shipping information /address to jo@kaikofidgets.com and we can provide you with a quote.

      Again, please remember customs and duties are the responsibility of the Customer.

      If your order is over 135 pound (approx 260 AUD) then we can ship and you pay the VAT on its arrival.  Unfortunately orders under this amount are way to complicated to manage as we have to charge all the fees our end. 

      This is what is on the UK information pages:  For the sale of goods over £135, you might not be required to collect VAT at the point of sale. In this case, VAT and duties are remitted by the importer. If you use registration-based taxes and have a UK VAT registration, then VAT will not be applied to your sales to customers in the UK. If you choose to, you can charge your customer for VAT and duties at the time of sale, and then provide these funds to the shipper or importer using a shipping label. Alternately, you can send the orders without charging VAT and duties, and your customer will pay extra funds at the time of delivery.
