The Sensory Tube Spiral Drip Liquid Timer is a calming and mesmerising device suitable for kids through to adults. The little colourful globules slide and drop down a series of curving ramps until they finally pool in the base. Globules can vary in size which adds to the visual interest. Liquid timers may help with concentration and calming.
