Whistling Tubes for endless building and experimentation

Squeaky tubes, also known as snake flutes, have been part of our product range for a long time. These are the flexible tubes that you can stretch, bend, and twist while they make a unique sound.

Now there’s also a complete whistling tube set that gives you even more ways to play.

You can connect the squeaky tubes together, stretch them out, and squeeze them back together. You can bend them, twist them, or make a long string out of them. Some kids even use them as a sort of telephone to talk through.

But even better: marbles are included, so you can also turn them into your own marble run. How cool is that!

Fascinating sounds and movement

When you twist the tubes, they start to “whistle.” Stretching and squeezing the tubes also produces a unique sound.

That combination of movement, sound, and flexibility makes the toy extra interesting. Children are always discovering new ways to play with it.

The tubes can be:

• twisted
• stretched
• pressed
• bent
• connected

That makes the toy surprisingly versatile.

Build your own marble run or water track

With the marbles from the set, you can create a simple marble run by connecting the tubes.

Children can experiment with:

• height differences
• curves
• long loops
• different paths for marbles

This turns a simple tube set into a creative building game.

The tubes are also suitable for playing with water. Outdoors, for example, you can use them to build a small water course.

Sensory and creative play materials

This flexible tube set is sensory play equipment that invites exploration. Children feel how the tubes move, hear the sound as they turn, and see how marbles roll through the tubes.

While playing, children discover:

• cause and effect
• movement and sound
• building and experimenting
• creative combinations of materials

Since there are no set rules, children can constantly come up with new ways to play with the tubes.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Crying Tubes Set

Why are pop tubes or squeaky tubes so popular as fidget toys?

Pop tubes and crying tubes combine movement, sound, and tactile feedback. When you stretch, squeeze, or twist the tubes, there is an immediate reaction: a click, crack, or “crying” sound. That immediate feedback makes the toy particularly satisfying to use. Many children and adults keep playing with them because the movement is repetitive and predictable. This can help relieve tension, maintain focus, or simply keep the hands occupied during a moment of concentration.

In which learning areas can you use the whining tubes set?

This set can be used in various learning areas. For example, while playing, children practice fine motor skills when they stretch, connect, or twist the tubes. When they build larger structures or create a marble run, gross motor skills and spatial awareness also come into play. Additionally, the play stimulates creative thinking and problem-solving as children experiment with routes, height differences, or different shapes of a track.

How can you use the tubes for building and experimenting?

The tubes can be connected to each other, allowing children to create long chains, tunnels, or curves. By adding the included marbles, a simple marble run is created. For example, children discover what happens when they place a track higher or lower, when they make a sharp turn, or when they combine multiple tubes. In this way, they learn about gravity, speed, and direction through play.

Can marble runs also help with language and communication?

Yes, surprisingly well. Because children often build or experiment with the tubes together, conversation naturally arises. For example, they discuss how the marble run should go or what happens when they bend a tube differently. Some children also use the tubes as a “telephone” or sound tube. This can lead to role-playing, new words, and simple conversations.

Why do many children find the sound of the tubes so interesting?

The sound is created when air moves through the ridges of the tube as you twist or stretch it. This makes the sound dependent on the movement you make. As a result, children discover that different movements produce different sounds. Experimenting with sound and movement makes the toy extra engaging and ensures that children keep coming up with new ways to play with it.

How can you use this set for sensory play?

The squeaky tubes offer different types of sensory input at the same time. Children feel the tube stretch and spring back, hear the sound when they move it, and see the marbles roll through the tubes. This combination of touch, sound, and movement makes the toy suitable for sensory play. Some children use the tubes quietly as a fidget, while others actively build and experiment with them.

Is this flexible tube set suitable for children with disabilities?

Yes For many children with disabilities, this is actually a highly sensory toy and therefore very interesting and challenging.

Less suitable for: Because the tubes are hollow, this set is less suitable for children who still bite toys a lot or play with toys in a rougher or more uncontrolled manner. This includes squeezing harder or pulling faster or harder. The tubes can then wear out more quickly and break.
