MIDEX Pop Tubes stretchable tube with light — toy sensory tube, model 646551 is a flexible, accordion-style plastic tube that extends and contracts with a characteristic clicking sound when manipulated. The integrated light activates during movement to add visual stimulation. The design is durable, lightweight and portable, intended for tactile, auditory and visual sensory engagement for both children and adults.
Advantages
