As the "crazy" Aunt, I love nothing more than buying gifts for my nieces and nephews to share that are annoying and leave them at either their parents house or my moms house! While I was addicted to playing with them myself, the family gets a kick out of these. One did get a small tear in it while my daughter and I were playing with them before taking them to Grandmas house for pure annoying fun, but the rest seem to be holding up. They are bendable and can attach to one another. If you twirl them, they get the high pitched whistle that also annoys the dogs...fun times!! I would buy more of these just to give to other friends with young kids so their parents can also enjoy the crackling noise of them folding in and out, while the parents reach for alcohol to dull the senses!These tubes are a lot of fun. My baby just turned one year old and loves playing with them. I've connected a few of them in a circle to make a hat, used them as whisper tubes (whisper into one end and let the other person try and guess what you said) and it's all been a huge hit. I also like how they can shrink back down to a very manageable size and they are so light you forget they're in the diaper bag. Would absolutely recommend them!I bought these as a fidget toy for my toddler to have in the car. Turns out, everyone including my 15 year old son have fun playing with them. They stretch and are easily squished back to normal and make a nice sound when you do that. As my tween would say, “that’s so satisfying…” Ha! Even the dog enjoys them. If you are too rough the creases get messed up and it loses the accordion effect, but for the price and purpose, not a big deal!My daughter got some of these for her birthday and has been in love with them. So I bought a couple boxes to have on hand for a multitude of holidays bag stuffers. All the kids loved them and even the adults. And for the price you really can't beat a gift that everyone gets a kick out of.Wonderful fidget tubes for kids or adults. Sturdy and easy to travel with as a toy due to compact nature when popped down. These have saved me a few times on road trips with my child as it is easy to use for creative play on a long car ride.Was amazed at how the kids loved this. They played with it for hours. Great way for them to use their imaginations.Kids love these. The whole concept is simple but they have been used over and over are a favorite for kids imagination. Good quality even when getting crushed. Price is worth the value.If you use these frequently they are very easy to be ruined so it’s not very durable but it’s giftable and very stretchy if you connects all the tubes together
