This set of 4 ooze tubes is excellent for exploratory play. Each set includes a green, red, blue, and pink ooze tube. They are an open ended resource that encourages inquiry based learning. Each of the ooze tubes measure 5.5cm wide x 5.5cm deep x 12cm high. The actual running time of each of the ooze tubes depends on the temperature of the goo, so the time varies and can be between 4 – 7 minutes. These timers are a calming resource for children as they watch the coloured bubbles float down.
These timers are recommended for children aged 3 years and older and they require adult supervision. These items are not a toy, and must be used with care as they may break when dropped from a height or used with force. As these are a teaching resource, ensure timers are not accessible to children without supervision. Each plastic timer is filled with a white mineral oil.

Children are encouraged to explore, investigate and develop ideas and hypothesis. They can test their ideas, and find new ways of building, creating, drawing, thinking etc. The use of open ended resources promote exploratory and investigative play as well as inquiry based learning. Creativity and imagination is developed through new ways of thinking. Often social skilled are built through team work, and language and communication skills improve. Perseverance is developed as children keep exploring and investigating their surroundings. Children will become more confident and develop a stronger sense of identity through play. Play encourages children to learn, develop and grow whilst they have fun.
