Hand Silkworm Fidget by Kaiko
The SILKWORM is a new version of the caterpillar bead range. With a broader, flatter and textured design, the hand crafted Silkworm will provide sensory support and enjoyment.
We have had these weighted stainless steel beads custom made for us. YOU asked...we listened... Many that love the caterpillar fidget asked for bigger, more weighted beads.
"It's perfect for stressful days at work. It redirects the pressure of the stress so I can concentrate on the task in front of me. Ruth 2025"
"I love my silkworm! the sage green is such a pretty colour and it rolls so nicely. I love how it can both be smooth and quiet, or make a more gritty crunchy sound if you fold the beads together and rub them (my favourite). I like both it and my regular caterpillar for the slightly varying feel of them both. The grooves in the beads are also nice to run a fingernail across. Definitely a favourite in the toolkit :) Ella 2025"
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. It is a quiet fidget, making it ideal for the workplace, travel or the classroom.
Not suitable for 3 and under as beads can pose a choking risk

These have been effective for those who
- hair twirl or pull
- suffer with trich.
- stim with fabric
- roll Blu-Tac (NOTE : SPEKS range also helpful to replace this also)
- love squishies and soft sensory input
- also wonderful for decreasing agitation for those with dementia and anxiety.
We also have this in a necklace version.
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.
