WHAT IT IS
The Educational Insights’ set comes with Playfoam compound in eight different colors; orange, blue, green, purple, sparkle orange, sparkle yellow, sparkle green, and sparkle pink! Playfoam is composed of small foam circles — and glitter, if they are designated as a sparkle color — that kids can squeeze, shape, and smash.

WHY WE LOVE IT
Playfoam doesn’t dry out and can be constantly molded into something new, so there’s no limit to what kids can create. They can flex their creative muscles while refining their fine motor skills as they pull the foam, shape it into something new, smash it, and squeeze it. It’s not sticky enough to leave residue on hands, floors, or walls, but it easily sticks together when molded with itself. The small foam beads also provide a sensory experience that could captivate a kids interest for hours, even if they aren’t interested in creating something new.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
The Playfoam comes in packaging that might make it difficult to use as a storage option, but can easily be kept in plastic bags or containers. Since the Playfoam is made from smaller beads that could look appetizing, and smaller chunks could be pulled off, parents should closely watch over younger kids as they play.
PERFECT FOR
Parents looking to introduce kids to a new texture and provide another sensory experience or fidget toy. It’s also a great teaching tool: Parents and kids could sculpt the Playfoam to teach about shapes, size, color, quantity, letters, numbers, and how to share.
PLAYFOAM COMBO 8-PACK
Kids can use orange, blue, green, purple, sparkle orange, sparkle yellow, sparkle green, and sparkle pink Playfoam to create everything they desire! Made from small foam circles, the Playfoam doesn't dry out, so kids can smash, squeeze, mold, and squish it again and again.
