I've subsequently found out how to make floam myself from online tutorials at instructibles.com.While this is a fun product what I received was junk. Only about half was useable. Obviously, either this brand was terrible or the seller stocked out of date or low quality stock.Make your own and save money. playfoam is great fun, but imagine the dissapointment my little gift receivers felt when what they opened was half useless. The foam was dry and crumbly.
So, the only thing you really CAN do with it is squish and smash it. It falls, deflates, and pulls apart to easily. My son played with it a couple times before moving on to Moon Sand (much to my chagrin because Moon Sand is REALLY messy but he loves it way better than PlayFoam probably for that very reason). The product does everything it says= it retains its stickiness without sticking to things you don't want it to (your clothes, your floor, your furniture) but it's sort of like Post-It notes in that it sticks just BARELY. My son (4.5 yr old) and I have tried to make many shapes including just a simple roll and PlayFoam won't hold its shape.
this is for quick make shapes - but dont expect this to give you precision.this is just the right kind of stuff. I got the product today and had a blast myself (well - my 6 yr old included).in fact as I type, I am still playing with it myself.does not stick - quite an addictive thing.this should be compared with play doh - which is almost a different product by itself.if ur looking at something which you can mould with precision, this is not the stuff.
Haven't touched it since. That's true, but it's boring. I made some letters, my son's name. I was enthralled with it at first, making a ball and squeezing squeezing SQUEEZING it.
My 4 year old wanted Moon Sand after seeing it advertised on tv. I think I liked it more than my son did. We mixed colors together. I of course had to spend hours (practically) checking it and similar products out to get the very best cuz that's how I am.
Didn't last long. We'll go back to Play-Doh. I decided on this stuff because it wasn't as messy. It's been almost 2 months since Christmas and we still haven't used all the pastel colors.
It doesn't dry out, and there is absolutely no mess. I even play with it. Great purchase. This is a great product. We just leave it out on the table, and my five year old walks up anytime and starts playing with it.
