  • Fun, Mess-Free Creativity for All Ages
Size: Combo 8-Pack
Who doesn’t love being creative? This Playfoam set is a fantastic gift idea—perfect for birthday parties, rainy days, or even on-the-go fun while traveling. It’s not messy at all, which makes cleanup a breeze (huge bonus for parents!). Kids of all ages enjoy shaping and squishing it, and it keeps them entertained for hours. Highly recommend for creative, screen-free play! ... show more

  • always a great buy and lots of fun!
Size: Combo 8-Pack
I have bought this exact set multiple times! my kids adore it! I love all the colors. They are vibrant and fun. Also that when you mix them it doesn't act like playdough and turn one yucky color. It doesn't dry out so it lasts so much longer than other products. I have compared it to many other brands from other stores, and this one seems to be the best quality. It doesn't leave that weird residue that you can never get off no matter how hard you wash. It comes easily out of hair, rugs, fabrics, and kitty's tails. I just throw it in a ziplock baggie when they are done with it. I think it is well worth the price. I have paid the same consistent price for about a year now. I also like that I don't have to wait to see if it is going to go on sale, or worry that the price fluctuates and it isn't worth it so I have to wait. I buy this for my daughter's head start classroom all the time. all the parents love it and have asked for the link multiple times! ... show more

  • Just ok
Size: Combo 8-Pack
I would say this was just ok. Not as soft as I expected and it’s sticky which isn’t awesome. Leaves a sticky film on things that it touches. My toddler likes it.

  • Fun toy for active kids
Size: Combo 8-Pack
These foam squishies are a good alternative to the kinetic sand and play dough. They never dry out and the colors can be used on top of each other to make lots of fun designs. This is great for sensory kids as well as just a fun toy without a lot of cleanup. I love the multicolor pack!

  • Kids love it
Size: Combo 8-Pack
My kids love this foam! My 5 year old will play for a long time while sitting when using this foam! He’s using up and zooming around and this keeps him busy. My kids use their imaginations while playing with this and they have created so many cool things. All of our colors were mixed together and put into one container. It needs to be replaced but my kids have used this for almost a year. This foam doesn’t leave a big mess like other brands!! We have had the kinds that are so sticky that you can’t even enjoy it, then it dries out within a couple of days. We’ve also had some that leaves a sticky residue all over the table. Nothing seems to take it off besides goo gone. You won’t that those issues with this foam! Get it! ... show more

  • AMAZING stem toy. Great price!
Size: Combo 8-Pack
My kids go crazy for this stuff. I love the way they just sit down with it and crate whatever their little imaginations come up with. It doesn't have scent like other products. The color variety is fun. The foam is stimulating and keeps the kids calm and entertained. The price is great. When I tried to buy the Play-Doh version, i noticed it was much more expensive. The foam also holds up well. My kids have been plying with theirs for months. ... show more

  • Very Messy and Skin Irritant
Size: Combo 8-Pack
I received this product today and was super excited to use it. I bought it with the intent of using it as a stress ball/fidget item. This product, however, has caused me a lot of stress instead of relieving it. For starters, it is rock hard upon opening. It is a five to ten minute process of massaging each section of Playfoam to even get it to a point of usability. From that point, it becomes EXTREMELY messy. Little foam balls began sticking to my hands once the product becomes malleable. It would take several frustrating minutes of picking the little pieces off before I could put away each section of Playfoam. Additionally, each time that I would play with the Playfoam I would end up with a significant layer of the adhesive that’s used to keep the foam together on my hands. However, the MOST frustrating part of this product is the irritation thatcher skin on my hands developed immediately afterwards. My hands began to burn, itch, and feel tight about fifteen minutes into my interaction with the Playfoam. Despite washing my hands several times and applying OTC hydrocortisone cream, my hands STILL feel massively uncomfortable, even though it’s been eight hours since I had contact with the product. As a result of the irritation, I am now unable to accomplish any of the plans that I had for my day as I have to keep reapplying cream to my hands and then wear cotton gloves in between applications of the cream in order to stave off the intense discomfort that I feel. Frustratingly, the packaging is basically unable to be reassembled upon opening so now I am stuck with a product that I’m allergic to. This was a total waste of money. I don’t recommend this product in the slightest. ... show more
