There's a new kids' accessory on the market, and it'll appeal to Little Mermaid-lovers everywhere. Magic Mermaid Positivity bracelets feature multi-colored sequins, a soft velvet lining on the inside and an adjustable velcro closure to fit wrists of kids ages 4–12. It also allegedly has some pretty neat benefits for the classroom too, providing just enough of a sensory distraction for kids with extra energy, attention deficit disorders, or who just learn better with something in hand. As an added consideration, the soft lining and adjustable size is great for kids with sensory disorders who might be extra sensitive to certain materials on their skin.
The bracelet was designed with sequins that are reversible with a different color on each side, allowing wearers to draw shapes and patterns onto the accessory with the gentle flip of a finger. Since the band looks like a particularly vibrant slap-bracelet, it should cause minimal distractions in the next fall (down with the Fidget Spinner!)
