If you’re getting the sense that your kid could use a productive way to fidget, look no further than Learning Resources’ Sensory Trio Fidget Tubes!
This three-pack offers kids a few different ways to fidget while honing three of the senses: touch, sight, and sound.
The first tube centers around touch, and is filled with amethyst-colored sand that sprinkles down the tube in an hourglass fashion. The tube is capped on either side in lime green, and kids can feel the sand as it flows down or shake it around as desired.
Sight is the focus of the second tube. The orange, candy-shaped tube is filled with water, glitter, and little smiley faces that refract light beautifully.
The last tube revolves around sound and is home to a propeller-looking yellow path for colorful little balls to fall down. The resulting sound is somewhere between wooden wind chimes and candy rolling out of a machine.
Priced at $19.99, this affordable set of tubes is intended for kids ages 3 and up. One does wonder how much play kids will actually get out of the toy, but for parents looking to develop wrist movement and fine motor skills, and to introduce the cause-and-effect concept, these tubes should serve a curious young mind well.
Plus, the trio offers more insight into the spectrum of the senses than just their designated sense. For example, the sound and sight of the falling sand in the “touch” tube is utterly delightful, while the visual of the “sound” tube (a waterfall of gumballs), as well as the feeling of the rolling spheres, is sure to appeal to many kids.
So if you want a toy that makes kids feel sense-ational about fidgeting at an accessible price point, check out this tube trio that proves good things come in threes.
