(More customer reviews)This is basically a heavyweight cardboard tube with a long metal spring attached to the bottom. When you shake the tube, the sound is amplifies and resonates, making booming "thunder" sounds. A range of other sounds can also be created by running fingers along the spring.
It is a simple invention, but strangely addictive - people young and old like to pick it up and play with it.
It is also surprisingly durable. I've had one for over 10 years, and it is still in great shape. In that time, it has been a classroom staple, gone to adult trainings and business meetings, been featured in a couple of elementary school plays, been loaned out for a "haunted house" fundraiser, and is often played with by kids at home. I bought the thing on a whim to get kids' attention in the classroom (MUCH cooler than a bell or whistle!) but have been surprised by all of the other uses that we've found for it.
I recently purchased the tie-dye version as a unique gift for an eleven-year-old girl. It will fill a basket with a tin of "thinking putty", a set of "jelly marbles" and a few other fun science toys. I must say, it is great for the person who has everything, especially if that person likes to make noise!
