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

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My toddler is absolutely obsessed with the Air Toobz! It has quickly become one of his favorite toys, and he plays with it every single day. I love that it’s more than just fun. It encourages creativity, problem-solving, and cause-and-effect learning as he rearranges the tubes into new designs and watches the balls zoom through them. The quality is fantastic, the pieces are sturdy, and it’s easy enough for little hands to build with. I also appreciate that it keeps him engaged for long periods without needing screens. We’ve already started thinking of new ways to expand and mount our setup because he enjoys it so much. If you’re looking for an interactive toy that grows with your child and sparks their imagination, I can’t recommend the Air Toobz enough. It has been worth every penny for our family!

So this is expensive, but we have a toddler who really only likes to play with balls so we made the purchase! My 3.5 year old LOVES this! He need some help with putting it together, but he has so much fun playing with this! For us it was definitely worth the purchase!

This is one of the coolest STEM toys we’ve bought. The Air Toobz are so simple but incredibly engaging, and kids immediately start experimenting with how the air flow works, how to build different shapes, and how to make the pieces move. It’s fun, hands-on, and keeps attention way longer than most “educational” toys. The tubes feel sturdy, the connections work well, and it’s surprisingly satisfying to watch everything in motion. It’s great for creativity, problem-solving, and sensory play, and it’s the kind of toy kids will keep coming back to instead of forgetting about after one day. Highly recommend, especially for kids who love building and tinkering.

Had this toy for half a year my son loves it. I got all the expansion packs for him for Christmas now its even more fun. Sometimes the balls get stuck but all you have to do is put a ball where another opening is and the balls go out fast. Its hard for a 5 year old to build sturdy so I help him snap the pieces in. After that it works great you just have to make sure the pieces are in as tight as possible. Its a beautiful classy looking toy. Alot of my friends have asked about it. To me its worth the price. I bought the bag roo which let's my son catch the balls in it sometimes. A great experimental stim toy. My son loves controlling the wind.

**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 AM Hello, 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 AM hello, 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 care I 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 Review As 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 love this! They sit down and play with it forever. It's a great non electronic toy. It's easy to assemble and my students can rearrange the tube in any way they want.

My 6 year old grandson and 13 year old granddaughter are having a lot of fun with this toy. They have assembled it over a stairway and made a shower with it. It is very durable and educational because they are repositioning the tubes in different configurations to see what works the best.

Awesome toy when it works. See the photo for one of the fun builds we made just before it stopped working. We did this with an expansion kit as well. Better If: We would love to see them add a half dozen brackets that can help stabilize while building and balancing. It's hard to do as one person, even an adult, because you have to brace multiple legs until you finish balancing it. Biggest problem area: Ours stopped working on the second time we used it and customer support was questionable. We are manual followers. We trouble shot everything as suggested in the manual and then through Fatbrain customer support. However, once none of that worked, Fatbrain informed us we needed to use this Amazon store's support services, since we ordered through them. We did. The steps appear to be for other products or simply are overly broad. None of it was helpful. The other support option they suggested was through Fatbrain, which we had already tried and ultimately told us they couldn't help anymore. Support didn't work. We were still within our return or replace window. I would have replaced it, but it never came up as an option. I hesitate to buy the new one to replace it yet though, as some of the fine print I have seen since makes me wonder if they will honor the return and refund the money. I will update the review, if they do not. My hope is that they refund it and that the device works longer than the first we received. It really is a lot of fun.

Es un juego interactivo, que da pauta a la creatividad de los niños armando diferentes circuitos, el material es de buena calidad, sí me gustaria que por el precio incluyera mas tubos, pero esta bien.

Fast das perfekte Spielzeug! Es wird von Groß und Klein geliebt und hat wirklich für jeden Entwicklungsstand etwas zu bieten. Es ist allerdings recht teuer, und mehr Röhren und Bälle fände ich schön. Die Erweiterung ist auch nicht billig, aber sie steht bei uns auf der Wunschliste für Weihnachten. Wir ergänzen derzeit mit Tischtennisbällen, das klappt auch prima. Die Maschine lässt sich meiner Meinung nach ideal anlässlich einer Familienfeier verschenken (dann nur vorher den Akku laden!!! Laden und Spielenfunktioniert nicht gleichzeitig!!!), damit es nicht langweilig wird.

Wat een mooi product. Wordt heerlijk mee gespeeld door kinderen van 2 tot 10.

Está genial, me funcionó mucho para entretener a mi bebé

This is amazing! My 2yr old has suspected asd and isn't keen on loud noises and likes what he likes so this was a risk. I don't regret it one bit. All my kids ranging from 2 - 12 years old play with this and when my brother gets involved (in his 20s) it becomes even more fun. The motor itself isn't loud at all and it keeps my kids entertained for hours. I bought this on special so itnwas definitely value for money. Colours are great and the size isn't too big just makes sure to keep the box.
