The Ooze Tubes – Set of 4 is a visually engaging and open-ended resource designed to support exploratory play, calm sensory input, and inquiry-based learning. Each set includes four transparent tubes filled with coloured mineral oil in red, green, blue, and pink. As children watch the thick, coloured bubbles slowly descend from top to bottom, they are encouraged to observe, question, and reflect—building the foundations of scientific thinking. Each tube measures 5.5 cm wide x 5.5 cm deep x 12 cm high and offers a variable running time between 4–7 minutes depending on the ambient temperature. The slow, rhythmic movement promotes visual tracking and serves as a calming aid for students who benefit from quiet focus. These non-toxic, sealed units are ideal for classroom observation stations, sensory spaces or science corners. While designed for educational use, they require gentle handling and adult supervision due to their breakable nature. Suitable for children aged 3 years and over, Ooze Tubes are a versatile addition to early learning environments that support creativity, curiosity, and sensory awareness.
