  • Just ok
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
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: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
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!

  • 3 stars and yet I'm buying a second one...
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
They say that this product will not dry out and I have not tested that, hopefully that is at the very least true. My issue, it says it's a great stocking stuffer, which with two kids, I thought would be fun to split them between the two. But the packaging makes this impossible. The packaging is not reusable. You can not put them back into the packaging to store. Once they are open, that's it. I'm guessing we'll just store it in a ziplock baggy... This is where I really appreciate play-doh coming in a storage container. but it'll be fine, it's something different and instead of splitting it between my kids, I just got a second one... so yay, win for the company that designed this packaging, you got me to buy two... ... show more

  • AMAZING stem toy. Great price!
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
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

  • I love this stuff!
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
My children were gifted a ton of play-dough for Christmas and after the 4 billionth time they asked to play with it (to which I again said "maybe later") I went onto Amazon looking for a better alternative. And here it is! As other reviews have said, my kids immediately put it into one giant ball, but each ball holds its own against the others and doesn't look bad. My kids have also used this on many surfaces and it never once stained or stuck. I have noticed that sometimes I'll find one little ball stuck to something (or someone) but it's rare. Just last night my oldest pushed it onto her face to make an imprint and it didn't stick to her face or hair at all. It does feel a bit sticky when you're playing with it but once you stop holding it your hands don't feel sticky at all. So far I've had this for a month and it hasn't dried out even though we leave it out on the counter - it gets played with every single day. My one tiny complaint is about this package, not the product - that is, I didn't realize the bottom 4 colors are glitter. Granted, if you look really closely you can see that those colors are called "sparkle" but it doesn't mention glitter in the product description anywhere. I hate glitter so I threw them away, but this was only about $1 more than the 4 pack so I'm not too upset about it. Update 1/6/18 - So the original batch lasted about 3/4 months before getting too dirty to play with any more (it got dropped a lot and may or may not have taken a trip on the dog once or twice). However, it never dried out, and the new batch we got has held up longer (kids are older/drop it less...). I'd still highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Very Messy and Skin Irritant
Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
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
