Wind Play Lab
See how wind makes things spin, fly, and boogie with hands-on sensory play! Create a mini wind tunnel with a kid-safe fan, and see how scarves, a pinwheel, and foam pieces move inside it. Watch a fabric tube dancer wiggle in the wind, and make balls float in mid-air with the power of science!

From the desk of the product designer:
Behind the design
“We were inspired by children’s science museums and the giant, interactive wind tunnel they display in the center of exhibits. While shrinking it down to a kid-sized scale, we also played with different foam shapes to add to the tunnel like hearts and flowers, and ended up loving that the wind makes the hearts flutter – so sweet!”

My daughter loves this. The different objects that are used keeps her entertained. And it's fun to watch her experiment with all the different objects.

I feel the wind machine is well built with a variety of experiments to try. The book gives ideas of additional activities to try.

My 3 yr old has always loved the wind tunnel features at children’s museums, and I have always adored wacky waving inflatable tube dancers. It’s a delight to have both in an at-home version. This toy has been revisited again and again, with my toddler excited to show off what they’re learning through repetition and experimentation.

Just opened up and my three & five year absolutely loves it. Our children’s museum had a wind tunnel and kids are thrilled to have a mini version at home. Small imperfections on the tunnel and actual machine part but overall great product. Book Illustration are also super cute!
