Air may be invisible, but its effects are easy to see.

As children connect and rearrange the AirToobz tubes, they can explore how changing the speed and direction of airflow affects the way objects move.

Lightweight balls can be pushed through tubes, lifted into the air or balanced above an opening.

Through hands-on experimentation, children begin to discover how moving air creates force—and how that force can push, lift, balance and redirect objects.

What will happen if the tube changes direction? Which object will travel further?

AirToobz encourages children to make predictions, test their ideas and observe the results.

As they build, test and adjust the tubes, children observe how airflow can push, lift and balance objects—developing an early understanding of movement, force and cause and effect through hands-on play.

The same airflow principles children discover through AirToobz can be found all around them.

Moving air supports ventilation systems, helps vacuum cleaners collect dust and carries lightweight materials through pneumatic transport tubes. It also influences everyday movement—from wind lifting a kite to air pushing a sailboat forward.

By connecting playful experiments with familiar real-world examples, children begin to see that STEM is not limited to the classroom—it shapes how the world around them works.
