Stocking Stuffer for Xmas, not given yet. Although I shook it to see how it worked. I found it simple and interesting. After a few times with it, I think my grandchild will put it down and play with it infrequently.

I ordered this to use in my classroom with 1st and 2nd graders. They LOVED it, and have since asked me nearly each morning to make the tornado again. It's great!

My rating of Tornado Tubes
Posted 7/18/2012 by Lisa B

We used the tornado tubes as an activity during out water-themed Vacation Bible School, designed for children aged 4 - 10. We made approximately 50 tornadoes. The kids thought they were really cool, although many of them leaked. Also, we didn't realize you HAVE to take off the plastic ring that remains around the neck of the bottle. If not, the tornado tube couplings can't be tightened. Getting the little ring off the bottle required an adult or older youth. Putting glitter in the water is neat.

Tornado Tube
Posted 6/15/2012 by Thomas Brennan

Really, I might be an unusual customer for this product. It was recommended to me by a nephew as a way to improve the quality of water. I have found that the water that I put through the TT does taste better. I have been told that the action of the vortex inside the bottle in some way changes the relationships between some of the molecules in the water. The idea is that the water becomes more hydrating. I think that is because the units of grouped molecules are smaller and they are able to penetrate the cell membranes more effectively. I hope that you continue to carry this product as I will be recommending it to friends and probably purchasing more in the future.
