Pop Toobs are great for creative play. The bendable, accordion toys make fun sounds when stretched, and can be linked together to make chains or stacked to make a hat. Pop Toobs “fit together to make many different shapes, make noise, [and] provide tactile stimulation and sensory awareness,” Ray Dallavecchia III, national sales manager for Poof-Slinky, told TDmonthly. Char Mcaulay, manager at Toy Town in Casper, Wyo., added that they sell this product “for young and disabled kids who are trying to develop motor skills.” Launch date: January 1992.
