Hairy Tangle is a fun and time consuming fidget toyDec 20, 2011
By BigHairyTantrum
I have a daughter with an OCD disorder where she pulls her hair, and a son with Autism. Each of my children have fallen in love with the hairy tangle. With this, I have purchased almost one of every other type of tangle, including the tangle jr., that I could find. One of each, for EACH child. I, my husband, and my children's Psychologist, all think they are very good for my children. My daughter's OCD disorder has become more controlled and she is less likely to submit to her compulsion than she would've been previously, due to having something to keep her hands busy, with her tangles. Her teacher has even allowed her to keep one on her desk at school for times like tests, or anything that causes her to be nervous where her compulsion surfaces. On the other hand, my Autistic son is subject to melt downs, and I find that handing him a tangle or two will help him simmer down more quickly while in the midst of a meltdown. Also, my husband even loves the tangle fidget toys while he is involved in watching a movie, or while working and reading over, or thinking of what to put into, a particular e-mail, or something that takes his undivided attention. Usually he would bite his nails when he would become engrossed and now he will reach for a tangle on occasion. When he does, he doesn't bite his nails. These devices are excellent for anyone with similar compulsion disorders that involve their hands, or if you just need to get someone's attention, like my son in the middle of a meltdown. We have chrome tangles (in every color), hairy tangles (in many various colors), big tangles, tangle jr., transparent tangles, original tangle, just so many variations... I highly recommend the Tangle in all of it's various forms.
Tactile Input, Sensory Stimulation, Encourages Fine Motor Development...May 09, 2012

I purchased this for my son, who has Autism. I've found that little objects like this provide tactile and sensory stimulation while also encouraging fine motor skills (the pieces come apart in segments, and take dexterity to snap back in place). We give it to him to avoid restlessness, and to give him a small reinforcer to play with between therapy drills.
This and items like it are inexpensive ways to work with your special needs child at home in between therapy sessions. Love this tangle item!
 Sensory fun!Mar 08, 2012
By TwinsMa
I bought one of these along with a couple of various other tangles in different textures for my autistic twin boys. They love to play with this one because they enjoy the texture and the colors.
The only warning I have is that they can pull this apart and take the "hairy" pieces off. If you have a child who likes to mouth things, this is not a good idea because the pieces can be bitten off, pulled apart, and an entire section placed in the mouth.
Otherwise, a great sensory toy and I came back and purchased one for myself!
Great tactile fidget toyFeb 19, 2012
By MullItOver
I am a middle school teacher and bought one of these for my students who need tactile sensory input. The tangle is great for this because it is (1) quiet (2) movable (3) has a satisfying koosh-like texture. The down side is that the koosh-like texture makes it difficult to pop the tangle pieces together or pull them apart because the texture material is a cover that slides onto each piece -- they slide off easily and make it difficult to get a grip. Overall, it has been well worth it, despite this design issue.
