Found in the Home Bargains near the Racecourse in Pontefract. If you want to check if your local has some ring up, I think they'll all be getting them in this week!

Yeah, I don't like them that much, but at least it's a deal that interests a lot of people too :smile:. Saves waiting for eBay ones to come haha.

My lad has ADHD and has had one of these for about 5 months now in school so he can fidget without annoying others. Now it has become "popular" they have been banned. thanks

The school won't make your child exempt from the ruling?

By the time everyone gets hold of these little Tarquin will have moved onto another playground trend.
They're designed for kids with ADHD and Autism for good reason, let kids who need them be able to get hold of them.

Because there's some massive Fidget Spinner shortage or stopping people with ADHD and Autism from buying them?
These have been sold as toys for ages. It has become a playground trend and there's nothing wrong with that.
If anything it brings the ADHD and Autism point to light and opens the door to teach kids about and normalise the spinner.

In the Arndale?
I'd looked at the Westgate branch but that was at the start of the week.
Ended up getting them from Pound Fever, not a retail experience to envy :stuck_out_tongue:

LOL a school inforcing a "collective punishment" for the actions of a few - god forbid.
I'm not that fussed as we have other strategies, just highlighting the plight of Special Needs in mainstream schooling.

I say....bang on trend..............was sliders now spinners
Bet those politicians won't need them.... they'll taught to spin any which way... when distracted with the truth :wink:

They will definitely be priced up and be reduced in stock due to the trends and as people have said they're being banned from schools because kids are **** about with them in class therefore the kids who need them can't use them. If you think the kids playing with them are doing it to educate themselves towards disabilities then naive isn't the word.

Yeh they had some at 9am, but can't see them having any left now. Haven't been in poundfever for ages, can't get in with the pram so don't bother plus like you say it's a unique experience lol

They're literally everywhere now and for dirt cheap. You are on a post that is saying they're selling for £1.99. Chinese factories are pumping these out like crazy.
If a school bans them then the parent can send a letter to the school (they should have in the beginning if they were already sending their kid to school with it) to make sure their kid is exempt from the ban.
And who said the kids will teach themselves?
Stop grasping at straws. You tried to make a smart comment but got called out for not making sense.
Better luck next time.

What's the ADHD/Autism argument? I'm on the spectrum and wondering whether this is useful. Is it just something to calm you down or distract you a little?

Calming and stopping fidgeting, helps them focus. My 6 year old is obsessed with electrical and hand cranked fans (its the spinning) so loves them.

I was in my local town (Blackburn) in Lancashire and I walked through the market, literally every stall had them.

I teach in a private secondary school and there is a blanket ban on these except for those with learning difficulties or other medically substantiated needs
