I picked up one of these on a whim to add to our office fidgetting materials... which include a battered Rubik's cube, some juggling newts, worry beads and other bits and pieces that people couldn't resist bringing in for those loooong phone calls and other fiddling opportunities. Our fuzzy tangle proved popular with everyone & their kids.
It has the soothing tangle-ability of the plain tangles, but with a lovely velvety texture. The velvet wears off after a bit so I can't say this was a very durable toy. A few months down the line I've ordered a couple more, as the original Tangle is now almost bald of fuzz, and looks grubby and battered. For a small, cheap toy that is designed specifically to be mauled about I can't really complain about this though!
Favourite Tangle-ing tips include breaking the segments into bits (note: not suitable for under-3s for this reason) and re-assembling them as interlocking circles.. which make an appealing, chunky key fob. Also, mixing this one with other Tangles for extra tangle-ability.
