The Magic of Moving Air
There is something satisfying about turning a dial and watching immediate results. The central turbine unit creates a powerful stream of air that pushes the colourful foam balls through the network of tubes. Your child controls the force—turn it down for a slow, suspenseful climb, or crank it up to send the balls whizzing through the bends at high speed. It's a brilliant introduction to physics without a single textbook in sight.
Build, Test, Repeat
The modular design invites constant tinkering. Unlike a marble run that only goes down, Air Toobz can go up, around, and sideways. Children quickly learn that if they don't connect the tubes securely, the air escapes—a practical lesson in cause and effect. They might build a closed loop where the balls cycle endlessly, or an open cannon that fires them into a basket. This trial-and-error process builds the resilience and problem-solving skills they will use in school later on. For even more complex runs, you can add the Fat Brain Air Toobz with Expansion Pack.
Safe for Indoor Action
One of the biggest worries with projectile toys is the potential for damage, but these balls are made of soft, lightweight foam. They are gentle enough to bounce off walls (or siblings) without causing tears or breaking vases. Measuring approximately 29.2cm x 16.5cm x 15.2cm for the base unit, it's substantial enough to feel like a 'big kid' toy but packs away easily when the experiments are done for the day.
