TEDCOPet Tornado-Spin and Watch

This is awesome for kids and adults! I got this 'cause my son has gotten into tornadoes recently. As long as you shake it correctly it creates an awesome vortex that doesn't last long but is awesome while it lasts! I would definitely recommend this! It even has cool tornado facts on the back! Truly amazing toy!

This toy is pretty cool. It definitely helps toddlers calm down and boredom. I bought because my son saw the new twister movie and became obsessed with tornados. He even took it to school for show and tell.

I got this for my great grandson's 6th birthday.He loved it so much he slept with it.

Cute but takes the perfect shake to actually spin.

Very durable. Great for educational use. Functions well. Perfect size.

It does what it’s supposed to but if you have a child like mine that drops everything then it might not be the best buy. The very top of it has cracked and it leaks.

My five year old is fascinated with natural disasters (tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes erupting, you get the picture) but tornadoes will always top the list of being the natural disaster that he finds the most interesting. Like most kids at this age, he is extremely curious and wants to know everything about whatever he is interested in. How does a tornado form? Where does it come from? What is it made out of? Yep... he is a tornado expert now. The only thing missing from his life was having a PET TORNADO! Haha... I was really pleased to find this on Amazon and purchased it with realistic expectations.My son was thrilled to receive it and we enjoyed reading the information on the back. Then came creating the actual tornado. When it arrived it had plenty of the foamy bubbles to create some impressive little tornadoes. Of course, you have to "swirl" it to get the tornado effect (because they are rotating columns of air, as my little tornado expert would point out). It's very easy to master the technique, and my son was creating his own tornadoes in no time. My son also found out that in addition to being able to create tornadoes with this, you can also create hurricanes by doing a shaking and swirling combination lol. After the first day, when he slept with it safely placed on his headboard, we noticed the next morning that the foam had settled a good bit. Turns out all you have to do is shake it and they come right back, so it looks like after having it for 9 days now that there isn't a danger of the foam disappearing permanently. I'll update if it does, but so far as good. For the price this really is a neat gift to a child, especially to one who loves natural disasters.

Very hard to get the tornado going. Pretty backdrop though.
