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

I bought the Fat Brain Toys Air Toobz for my nephew, and it was an instant hit! As soon as he opened it, he was completely captivated by the way the air shoots the balls through the tubes. The look of surprise and excitement on his face was priceless.What I really love is how this toy is both fun and educational—he’s experimenting with how the tubes connect, changing the airflow, and figuring out how different setups affect the speed and direction of the balls. It’s like hands-on STEM learning disguised as a blast of fun.It’s also well-made and sturdy, which is a big plus when you’re dealing with enthusiastic little hands. If you're looking for a toy that’s engaging, a little quirky, and gets kids thinking and moving, this is it. Highly recommend—my nephew can’t get enough of it!

This has provided hours of playtime for my daughter. It is one of the only toys she actually takes out to play with! I highly recommend this and the extension pack! Don’t waste money on lol dolls or another blind bag that will just get lost 5 minutes after they open it. Invest in something they will take out again and again!

It’s a very good open-ended toy for the very young to the semi old. The toy is constructed with sturdy materials and plentiful balls. Straight from the box it was easily assembled and charged quickly with battery power that lasts a long while.

**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 AMHello, 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 AMhello,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 careI 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 ReviewAs 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 students absolutely love this! The expansion pack is a must as the original kit is a bit small. Hours of play. So far, nothing broken.

My daughter loves this toy. It was very easy to set up and use. The blower is not that big but has enough power to push the balls through and even shoot them out of the tube.I also like that it is rechargeable and does not have to be plugged in all the time. It is very lightweight and easy to transport and move around the house. It comes with enough balls to play with over and over again.It also has a power knob where you can change the speed of the blower, which allows the balls to go slow or fast.The cons: I think the machine is very cool and fun to play with. I do think the toy is overpriced and should only cost no more than 60 dollars.The on-off switch could be more user-friendly. My daughter is two years old and is very smart and can turn on and access a lot of things. In this machine, you need to hold the button down for 3 seconds for it to turn on. If it had a flip switch, it would make it easier for kids to use.For the price, I think it should come with double the amount of tubes. You have some tubes to make a couple of loops and designs but for the price, it should have more.Overall, it's a nice product and fun for the kids and the family.

Fun you to keep you kids thinking and playing.

Bought this for my grand kids. Boys, three and four, they love it.
