Playdough for the new generation
This stuff is great, our little one loves it. It like a modern version of Playdough without the mess. Forever squishy no matter what and no residue on hands so thats fantastic. I don't feel our little one needs to be 3+ to get the benefits of it, so happy to supervise with it - so much so we both had great fun.

Unusual sensory play material
I'm not sure how to describe this playfoam! It consists of tiny polystyrene balls and has a very, very sticky texture, but it doesn't leave a residue on hands or surfaces and has very little shedding so leaves no mess behind.It's certainly a strange sensory experience - like squeezing rice krispies squares - but my children were fascinated with it. It's not as malleable as playdough and it's only possible to make simple shapes but, as a regulating tool, it's very effective.

Nice change of play moulding
I ordered this for my 3 year old granddaughter. She has similar at home and so I definitely know it doesn’t make a mess or leave sticky residue over the furniture, as it’s passed the mum test and made it over their threshold!I have to say it’s a strange mixture, reminds me of rice cakes. The colours are very bright and so far she’s used them individually to create, but once they’re mixed, I’d imagine they’re going to look a lot less appealing.I’m happy for her to use them on my table, the colours don’t stain and no need for a covering, though I’m yet to not use a cover…old habits etc.Good price, good fun to keep entertained and reusable.

Playfoam kit !
My little girl who is eight years old loves to play with different textures slime and this play foam it's like a slime but less sticky and more enjoyable. The playform kit comes in a back of six colors all nice and bright, fun to play shaping and stretching, good quality and nice sensory experience. Great for the craft box, excellent for a little activity on a rainy day in the afternoon!

8 year old loves this stuff
Our 8 year old and 5 year old love moulding this sticking foam stuff. Another item in the craft and arts set and they spend hours shaping it, pulling it apart. The new faze of the moment but it is keeping them busy and it is less messy than paints but still the odd stray ball are found here and there.

Too stiff
I have SEN kids and I am so done with the play doh mess in my house so I was really looking forward to this as an alternative. I've never used foam before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was hoping it would be soft and manipulative like playdoh but unfortunately it's quite stiff. My kids enjoyed playing with it initially but eventually gave up on it as it was just too stiff for their liking. I'm not sure whether this is how the texture supposed to be or whether it could be any softer. My kids would definitely prefer something softer.

Great, fun texture
The balls that construct this foam and fun, different & enjoyable to play with.As with all playfoam, once colours are mixed separation is impossible!Can build simple shapes, but for me, this is more about the feel and texture.
