TapTap stands out as the first smart fidget and this palm-sized gadget helps to improve memory, focus, hand-eye coordination, critical thinking, small motor skills and more.
Flycatcher inventor and CEO Shay Chen said in a press release, "Adding a gaming layer to a fidget creates a whole new category of play and skill building. Neon colors and LED lights guide players over a grid of tactile buttons. We tested the size, shape and pressure of the buttons with kids to find what functions best." TapTap is not just a toy but also a tool that promises to be fun and easy to use. TapTap is positioned as a smart fidget that has the potential to benefit anyone ages five and up, so long as they can manipulate the grid of tactile buttons.
