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 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.

The Wind Play Lab is a sensory adventure that puts the power of air in your toddler’s hands. This innovative wind tunnel toy is designed to captivate curious minds with the magic of moving air. Watch as your child explores the concept of wind by sending objects soaring through the transparent tube—will it float, fly, or zoom through? This hands-on experience doesn’t just entertain; it introduces early STEM concepts, encouraging your child to experiment with cause and effect, velocity, and airflow. The Wind Play Lab turns playtime into a mini science lab, where curiosity takes flight and learning is always a breeze! But the fun doesn’t stop there. As a versatile sensory kit for toddlers, the Wind Play Lab offers endless opportunities for tactile exploration and imaginative play. Your little one will love the hands-on experience of feeling the rush of air, hearing the whoosh of objects in motion, and seeing their experiments come to life. This toy is perfect for parents who want to spark a love of learning early on while providing their child with a playful way to understand the world around them. With the Wind Play Lab, every puff of air becomes a new discovery, making it the ultimate toy for sensory play and early STEM learning!
