From the desk of the product designer:

Behind the design

We were inspired by children’s science museums and the giant, interactive wind tunnel they display in the center of exhibits. While shrinking it down to a kid-sized scale, we also played with different foam shapes to add to the tunnel like hearts and flowers, and ended up loving that the wind makes the hearts flutter – so sweet!
