Product Description

Clear acrylic sealed tube, 3-1/8" dia x 8" tall, divided into two equal chambers. The dividing wall has a hole in the center, and the tube has a quantity of viscous violet goo (glycerin?) in it that fills one chamber about 3/4 full. Stand the tube on end with the full chamber up, and over a 10 minute period the goo will ooze from the upper to the lower chamber, blowing bubbles and dribbling droplets in the process, all in slow motion. The action is somewhat reminiscent of a lava lamp, without the heat and light, and with a mixed air and goo chamber that yields much more interesting patterns. Mesmerizing, disgusting, fascinating, soothing. It comes in a variety of colors from which we will choose yours.

My son has a learning disability and this sort of toy/aide is very helpful. He has serious issues with focusing and he enjoys watching the slow green go pass from one side to the other. It is amusing as well as helpful. The shipping was a killer (appx same as the product) but it did come right away and it was worth it.

I have one of these on my desk in my classroom and it is great for kids who are getting a little anxious. They can sit and watch it for a few minutes and are ready to rejoin the group. It is sort of like a lava lamp. It can also be used for describing activities...

I don't know why the picture on the website shows this as a red product. It's actually green goo in a clear tube. It's a fun desk toy!
