Four to seven minutes of coloured bubbles falling - about $25.75 a tube

Four ooze tubes - green, red, blue and pink - 5.5 x 5.5 x 12cm each. Coloured bubbles drift down over 4 to 7 minutes depending on temperature.

These are a teaching resource, not a toy. The supplier is explicit and so are we: they must be used with care, they may break if dropped from a height or used with force, they need adult supervision, and they must not be accessible to children without it. Each is filled with mineral oil. Recommended for children aged 3 years and older.

The long run time is what separates these from a sand timer. Four to seven minutes is long enough to be a calming activity rather than a countdown - a child watching bubbles fall for five minutes has been given a genuine sensory break, not a stopwatch.

The supplier's own wording describes the fill as white mineral oil while also describing coloured goo. We are reporting their words rather than resolving them, and we have asked them to clarify.

FAQs

With adult supervision, for ages 3 and up. The supplier states plainly that they are not a toy, that they may break if dropped from a height or used with force, and that they must not be accessible to children without supervision. Each is filled with mineral oil.

Run time. These take 4 to 7 minutes against the sand timers' 2 to 3, which is the difference between a countdown and a calming break. If you want a child to settle by watching something, buy these.

The supplier's own listing says white mineral oil, while also describing coloured goo and coloured bubbles. We are reporting their wording rather than guessing at it, and we have asked them to clarify.

Yes - 4 to 7 minutes depending on temperature. Warmer goo runs faster. These are not for anything where the exact duration matters.

Stop, keep children away, and clean it up as an adult - there is oil inside. Then bin it. This is why the supervision requirement is not optional.
