Especially imagined to be used by small children with big imaginations, the Boo! table fan was designed by Alex Siordia as a fun and safe way to decorate a child's room.
Kids have a knack for shoving their fingers into places they don't belong and toppling things over, making regular room fans extremely hazardous and impractical for them. Conscientious parents will enjoy this fan's super safe construction as it is made with elastomer blades, a flexible plastic that doesn't require any protective covering. So kids can stick their hands in the mouth of this goofy monster and not lose a single digit.
As Alex Siordia explains on his product page, the Boo! table fan collection features "friendly shapes and materials [that] allow the child to fully interact with the toy."
