I highly recommend this product for any child between 3-6. If you buy it in combination with the Saxoflute, it is even more fun! It seemed really simple to me, but it is amazing what the kids come up with to make out of simple tubes and couplers. Great for motor skills, imagination and math concepts.

Tubation consists of about 40 plastic "pipes" of three different shapes and colors. They fit together and come apart easily, and are fun for the imaginative kid whose goal is to play with what he's built rather than be consumed by the act of building it. My kids use them in a variety of ways, including the bathtub. Tubation is a favorite toy.

The only problem with the toy is that the plastic may split after awhile. My son was pinched by a tiny crack that was almost unnoticeable. I had to throw away the cracked pipes and watch out for any new cracks. I did, however, purchase the toy again because my kids liked them so much.

Love that it came with 2 mouth pieces. Ordered this product with the extra package of Quercetti tubes for my 3 year old who is in therapy for facial muscle development. Within days, he had learned to blow through the tube, something we hadn't been able to teach him with months of straws and other horn toys. He and his brother have great fun building and re-building their "horns" and with the extra set, there are plenty of tubes. Only 4 stars b/c he can't build other things easily at this age, and it definitely isn't my favorite noise at 7am!
