Wind Play Lab
See how wind makes things spin, fly, and boogie with hands-on sensory play! Create a mini wind tunnel with a kid-safe fan, and see how scarves, a pinwheel, and foam pieces move inside it. Watch a fabric tube dancer wiggle in the wind, and make balls float in mid-air with the power of science!

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!”
