What is Sniffle Buddy
Sniffle Buddy™ is an interactive tool that teaches children how to blow their nose by making the air visible.
How does Sniffle Buddy work?
Children blow through their nose into the Sniffle Wand.™ Airflow moves the confetti inside the globe–making the air visible in real time.
What age is Sniffle Buddy for?
Sniffle Buddy is designed for children learning how to blow their nose.
Do kids blow mucus into the Sniffle Wand?
Sniffle Buddy is designed for practice–not for clearing mucus. Children use it while healthy to learn how to move air through their nose. When they're congested, they use a tissue–applying the same skill they've already learned.
Is the confetti sealed and safe?
Yes–the globe is fully sealed and designed with safety in mind. Children interact with the outside of the Sniffle Wand, while airflow makes the air visible inside the globe.
What if my child inhales instead of blows?
Sniffle Buddy is designed to respond to outward airflow through the nose. If a child inhales, the visual feedback does not activate–helping them learn the difference.
Why does Sniffle Buddy include a removable microfiber tissue?
Sniffle Buddy includes a removable, washable microfiber tissue designed to help children practice real nose-blowing and wiping motions while learning the skill.
How do you clean it?
The bottom portion of the Sniffle Wand detaches for cleaning. For best results, use when the child is not actively congested so they can focus on learning the skill. Each Sniffle Buddy is designed for individual use.
Does the Sniffle Wand detach from Sniffle Buddy?
No. For safety, the Sniffle Wand remains attached to Sniffle Buddy
