Slow the pace and capture attention with the Ooze Tubes – a mesmerising set of four sensory-rich resources designed to support exploratory and calming play. Each tube is filled with vibrant coloured goo that gently oozes and bubbles downward, offering a visually engaging experience that encourages mindfulness and inquiry-based learning. Ideal for observing flow, time variation, and cause-and-effect, these tubes support a wide range of learning opportunities.
The set includes one tube each in green, red, blue, and pink. Measuring 5.5cm wide x 5.5cm deep x 12cm high, these sturdy plastic tubes contain white mineral oil and run for approximately 4–7 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. Whether used to promote calm or spark curiosity, Ooze Tubes provide an engaging experience that supports self-regulation and scientific thinking.
