Extendable Pipes - Set of 2

This set of 2 versatile Extendable Pipes is a fantastic resource for sensory integration, gross motor development, and open-ended play. The large, durable pipes can be twisted, bent, and stretched from their compact size to a full 75cm length (diameter 10cm). This manipulation provides excellent proprioceptive input and strengthens the hands and arms, supporting Physical Development and coordination. The unique accordion design generates satisfying auditory feedback (a crinkling/popping sound) as it is stretched and compressed, making it highly engaging for sensory seekers. Open-ended play thrives as the pipe can become anything the child imagines—a tunnel for small toys, a periscope, a giant 'hungry caterpillar', or a communication device. Its robust construction ensures longevity in high-use environments. The bright, varied colours add visual stimulation. Recommended for ages 3+.

Features

• Set of 2 large, flexible Extendable Pipes (Colours vary). Ideal for collaborative play and dual-handed manipulation.
• Extends up to 75cm long. Provides a significant range of motion for physical and gross motor play.
• Diameter of 10cm. Large enough for imaginative play (e.g., crawling tunnels for small toys, communication tubes).
• Durable, flexible accordion design. Allows for continuous twisting, bending, and stretching without damage.
• Generates sensory feedback. Produces satisfying auditory (crinkling) and tactile sensations when manipulated.

Benefits

• Supports Sensory Integration. Provides excellent visual, auditory, and proprioceptive sensory input.
• Develops Gross Motor Skills and Coordination. Stretching and maneuvering the large pipe strengthens arm and core muscles.
• Fosters Open-Ended and Imaginative Play. Encourages children to transform the pipe into countless scenarios (e.g., engineering, role-play props).
• Promotes Collaborative Play. Two pipes allow children to interact, connect them, or use them as communication devices.
• Strengthens Fine Motor Control. Manipulating the pipe’s flexibility and shape requires hand and finger dexterity.
