Fat Brain Air Toobz is an air-powered STEM toy that turns the physics of air pressure into an active, buildable play experience. Children assemble a network of connected tubes, then use air pressure to propel lightweight balls through their custom-designed path. The two-step nature of the toy - build the configuration, then test it - naturally introduces STEM thinking: design, predict, test, adjust. No batteries, no screens - just the satisfying cause-and-effect of air pressure sending balls through the tubes a child has built. Fat Brain Toys designs Air Toobz as an open-ended toy with multiple configurations possible, extending play beyond a single setup.

Fat Brain Air Toobz is an air-powered STEM toy where children use air pressure to propel lightweight balls through a series of connected tubes. Children assemble the tube network, drop balls into the entry point, and use air-powered pumping to send the balls through the system. It demonstrates air pressure and cause-and-effect principles through active play.
Fat Brain Air Toobz is designed for children from approximately 3 years and over. Please check the product packaging for the specific age recommendation for the Australian version (TM-FA454AUT).
The Air Toobz system uses a manual pump or air squeeze mechanism to create air pressure that propels lightweight balls through the connected tube network. Children assemble their own tube path and experiment with different configurations to see how the balls travel.
Yes. Fat Brain Air Toobz involves assembling the tube network as part of the play. The assembly component is part of the STEM learning - children design and build their own configuration before testing it with the balls.
