What are Liquid Motion Bubblers?

Liquid Motion Bubblers are gadgets, kind of like mini Lava Lamps, where different coloured drops or bubbles fall from the top liquid reservoir to the bottom.

Gravity causes the colored droplets to travel down the liquid at slow motion space. It’s basically the phenomena of liquid dynamics in the form of a fun and soothing display.

Most of the Bubblers are like hourglasses that you can flip over and watch the liquid elements inside squeeze, slip and float serenely to the bottom. The droplets appear to change shape as they fall slowly.

Why do They Help with Stress or Therapy?

The descending bubbles have a soothing and mesmerizing effect that will keep kids entertained for hours.

These sensory toys can help improve visual tracking skills and because they have slow and rhythmic drops there’s a very relaxing effect which can help kids with sensory or hyperactivity issues soothing them and helping them to stay focused.

Because you can flip them over and start again, they give endless hours of calming entertainment. Just like a stress ball or fidget spinner, they don’t run out of energy. They are great as therapy toys and even stress relief toys.
