Four to seven minutes of coloured bubbles falling - about $25.75 a tube
Four ooze tubes - green, red, blue and pink - 5.5 x 5.5 x 12cm each. Coloured bubbles drift down over 4 to 7 minutes depending on temperature.
These are a teaching resource, not a toy. The supplier is explicit and so are we: they must be used with care, they may break if dropped from a height or used with force, they need adult supervision, and they must not be accessible to children without it. Each is filled with mineral oil. Recommended for children aged 3 years and older.
The long run time is what separates these from a sand timer. Four to seven minutes is long enough to be a calming activity rather than a countdown - a child watching bubbles fall for five minutes has been given a genuine sensory break, not a stopwatch.
The supplier's own wording describes the fill as white mineral oil while also describing coloured goo. We are reporting their words rather than resolving them, and we have asked them to clarify.
