Fat Brain Toys The Original Air Toobz, Air-Powered STEM Building Toys for Kids & Teens, Kids Building Toys, STEM Toys for 3+ Year Old

This worked really well for my three kids, ages 3 to 7. They all had fun with it, but especially my two younger ones. It was easy for them to jump in and start playing, and they liked changing the tubes around and seeing what happened with the air and balls. I looked into some lower-cost options before buying this, but after reading reviews and doing a little research, it seemed like those didn’t really live up to the hype. I decided to spend the money on this one, and I’m glad I did. It also comes with a generous amount of balls, way more than I expected, which is a nice bonus. Fun, creative, and a good STEM toy for younger kids.

My students love this! They sit down and play with it forever. It's a great non electronic toy. It's easy to assemble and my students can rearrange the tube in any way they want.

Pros- Lots of fun! Safe and fun to try out new patterns. The small foam colorful balls flow through effortlessly! Great use of planning and thinking plus problem solving. It comes with a rechargeable battery! This is what ultimately sold me! Charges up quickly! Con’s - the straight and curved tubes pieces are harder than I expected to attach together. More than that, trying different builds, the pieces can flop over. Especially when using the the connector piece. So we used the bureau to help hold the pieces to stay upright. If anyone else has a better idea, let me know. It also was very expensive. In my mind with all the fun, laughter and thinking involved to build. Totally worth it. I did buy the large set. I am so happy I did.

My 6 year old grandson and 13 year old granddaughter are having a lot of fun with this toy. They have assembled it over a stairway and made a shower with it. It is very durable and educational because they are repositioning the tubes in different configurations to see what works the best.

This is one of the coolest STEM toys we’ve bought. The Air Toobz are so simple but incredibly engaging, and kids immediately start experimenting with how the air flow works, how to build different shapes, and how to make the pieces move. It’s fun, hands-on, and keeps attention way longer than most “educational” toys. The tubes feel sturdy, the connections work well, and it’s surprisingly satisfying to watch everything in motion. It’s great for creativity, problem-solving, and sensory play, and it’s the kind of toy kids will keep coming back to instead of forgetting about after one day. Highly recommend, especially for kids who love building and tinkering.

This is a great toy for many age groups. It has quite a few tube pieces for building different tube variations. Fan blower is high quality. Fan speed is adjustable and has an LED bar to signal fan speed which is a nice touch. When charging the fan cannot be used. Battery life has not been an issue. It’s the kids attention span. Overall it’s cool to experiment with different tube configurations. Gives kids a real world view of how fluids work. I recommend this product.

**Update 1/23/2024** Sadly I have to update my review just weeks after leaving my first review. I ordered this on 12/26 and it arrived after the new year which was find since I bought it for my daughters birthday in early January. I ordered it on Dec 23,2023 and it arrived Jan 3,2024 -- on Jan 22,2024 the motor and blower stopped working. Since it was within the return window I attempted to do so and planned on buying a new one assuming it was a fluke that it stopped working. I contacted the seller that same day and got the following response. Limolin LLC *My reasoning for asking for the return* Jan 22, 2024 11:10 AM Hello, I’d like to request a return as the blower has stopped working. The lights will show that it is fully charged. Once powered on the dial lights up but there is no air movement and the motor doesn’t turn on. *sellers response* Jan 22, 2024 11:49 AM hello, please note that a defect or damage should be reported up to 5 days from the delivery date and your package was delivered on Jan. 3. regards, customer care I bought this within the extended holiday return window and am shocked that they will not refund this. For a toy at this price point (at the time it was $165 I expected this to last much much longer then 19 days. For these reasons I cannot recommend this toy any longer. Original Review As soon as I saw this advertised I knew my kids would love it. For years they have been obsessed with the air tubes displays at kid museums and now we have they own buildable one at home. Easy to use & put together. The tubes and connectors just slide together instead of screw in which makes it easier for my younger kids to build independently. Replacing the foam balls once they get lost or broken seems simple because they are about the size of the popper foam balls used for the toy guns. The dial lights up to show how powerful the blower is running, at full speed quieter then I expected. The only thing I wish was that while it was plugged in I was able to run it. So far I’ve only been able to run the blower after it’s charged and unplugged. Not a big deal to me but wouldn’t be nice. Other thing is that you should buy the expansion pack of connectors and tubes as you’re going to want to build more elaborate runs.

My boys love this toy. I love that there are so many teaching points to share with them as they play with it. It is versatile in the different designs to get the ball to move.

Absoluter Spielspass! Die Kinder können sich wirklich sehr sehr lange damit beschäftigen und auch wir Erwachsenen finden es toll! Würden wir trotz des Preises jederzeit wieder kaufen. Erwägen auch die Erweiterungen zu besorgen.

El juguete favorito de mis hijos , un acierto total, nunca se cansan de jugar

Está genial, me funcionó mucho para entretener a mi bebé

This is amazing! My 2yr old has suspected asd and isn't keen on loud noises and likes what he likes so this was a risk. I don't regret it one bit. All my kids ranging from 2 - 12 years old play with this and when my brother gets involved (in his 20s) it becomes even more fun. The motor itself isn't loud at all and it keeps my kids entertained for hours. I bought this on special so itnwas definitely value for money. Colours are great and the size isn't too big just makes sure to keep the box.
