Great little toy!

We recently had two tornadoes near our home and the experience sparked a lot of interest on the part of my 5 yo dd. When I saw this item I couldn't resist getting it for her! She has had more fun playing with it, carrying it around, and showing it to people.
Our other children (and adult family members) can't resist playing with it either. :-) One tip - it is easier to get really good tornadoes if you keep the bottom of the tube on the palm of your hand, a table, or other fairly flat surface while turning the tube in circles. If the bottom doesn't stay pretty flat, the tornadoes are smaller.

Students Love It!

It's amazing that such a simple toy continues to be enjoyed day after day in my classroom! I teach 4th and 5th grade "gifted" students. We are in an area where tornadoes do occur, so the kids are particularly fascinated with the facts on the back of the item.
Since they're so interested in the subject, we formed groups to research different aspects of tornadoes. They've been investigating how tornadoes are formed, how they're rated (according to intensity), where they occur most frequently, how they are predicted, signs of an approaching tornado, what kinds of damage they cause, tracking tornadoes, and current scientific research.
I plan to purchase several more "Pet Tornadoes" for the classroom. The price is reasonable, they are very sturdy, and their appeal seems never-ending!

My 6 year old thought it was really cool, and wanted to learn about how it worked, but she couldn't get it to go on her own, so she lost interest pretty quick.
Very Cool Pet Tornado

My son (10) likes all things weather-related. I thought it was just so cool! It takes a little practice to get the tornado swirling, and it only lasts a few seconds before it disperses, but it looks so neat while it is going. Just like a tiny, real, tornado! I love the idea that this is a "pet" tornado that my son can take with him anywhere. Very nice product!

Somehow, I got the idea that the "tornado" would actually stick around in the tube for more than, say, 3 seconds at a time before having to stir it back up again. I was disappointed with this product, but am planning to give it to my son anyway.

My 5 year old son loves "extreme weather" and he was thrilled by this brilliantly simple toy.

You give this toy a circular shake and a tornado forms. It only lasts for a few seconds, but it is very cool. My 8 year old son is fascinated by tornadoes. He really likes this toy.
Neat Toy!

My kids love these! It's one of those toys that gets picked up over and over again. A simple concept that leads to lots of questions and experiments.

I gave Pet Tornados to my 6 year old granddaughter and 8 year old grandson. They both were fascinated by the tornado-like action. I can say they were definitely very pleased with their toys. I am certainly glad I bought them.

This is a pretty simple yet cool toy. It requires some manual dexterity to get the tornado to happen. Very portable and looks like it would take a few knocks without breaking. For younger kids, having a handle (think bike handle) option for the bottom may make it easier to get the whirlpool going. It would be nice if they reformulated the glue for the product ID sticker need something like goof-off to remove the residue.

Looks and works exactly like I thought it would.
Tornado is a Dud!

This toy didn't work, even with an adult following the instructions and diagram on the toy. How in the world is a child supposed to do it, when his parents can't even get it to work?

These tornadoes are weak and short-term. My boys found Tornado Tubes to be more fun then Pet Tornado.

The Pet Tornado is fun for young and old. Nice to keep out to play with meditative results. I really like the design that looks like a farm field just waiting for the tornado. All it takes is a flip of the wrist to bring it alive.

The tornado is a bit hard for kids (age 8) to get going.
Cute Pet Tornado

My grandson really enjoyed the Pet Tornado. He is six years old and is really into hurricanes and tornados. However he cannot make it work by himself. An adult does it for him for it to work correctly.
