Spinners... I have been hearing about them - good & bad. Clearly a topic of conversation.
The little research i did- there is a mixed opinion - professional about Spinners.
Do they help kids focus.  
I think they look cool, mesmerizing - colorful and I've seen glass artists are creating them now also. PIN had many DIY FYI on them.  Easy & difficult.  
My opinion.. spinner s have been around a long time, spinning meditation rings. 
Spinning prayer wheels (I have one on my desk) and is doodling not a type of spinning?
Kids have been doing it in class for -ever.
Spinners, it is my personal opinion after all I have ready - they would be quite the distraction and what happened to trying to focus old fashioned ways? creative ways. Spinning is just watching... I GET it. I don't agree with it.  I did see this on PIN while searching spinners and thought it was really cute and highly true:

Anything that helps a child to focus and calm down naturally - I AM all for it.
Before pills - always.  
With all that is happening in the world, talks of bombs daily, Trump antics, stuff (terrible things)  no wonder they are spinning.
FIRST I'd suggest gently  ;)   pen & paper.. I bet there are so many little creative artists trying to get out.   TLC before anything, of course.
You all know I'm a huge fan of reading!  Reading was must when Storm was a baby and  I promised him when tiny- 'I'll buy you any book as long as you promise to read it- then I'll buy another.'  His first big book - 'Megladon' - a giant shark.  ;)  
In elementary school  he was reading 3 grades above the rest in his class.
They called me one day to tell me this. I was pleased.  ;)

With Love.

Made me giggle..
I've started a bunch of simple 'TinyToons' just like this, to help get ideas out of my head & on to paper..  little 'warm ups'.   I will also use them from time to time for 'Blog Breaks'.
I hope thy bring a smile to your face, as they do mine!  
Each takes me about 15 minutes or less to sketch and paint.
