Educational Insights: Playfoam Combo 8-Pack Review (& Giveaway Ends 9/23)

ABOUT:

All the products are designed by seasoned educators and parents who know that learning needs to be fun to keep kids engaged.

MY THOUGHTS:

Play Foam is a fun new play-doh like substance.  It is like play-doh as that its fun to build with and squishy in your hands, but it is also unlike it.  Play Foam will never dry out nor will it stick into surfaces.  This package is nice because it comes with eight different colors, although young kids will probably end up smooshing them all together pretty quickly and once together you can’t separate the colors.  I love though that its unique consistency allows my sons creative play and building.  It is hard to describe the consistency other than to say its like little Styrofoam pieces all together.  So far my boys haven’t managed to stick it or ruin anything.  They actually just like to sit at the kitchen table and just squish it around in their hands!  I do wish it came in containers like play-doh to store it in, because even though it won’t dry out I still want it stored in something.  I ended up using a plastic Tupperware container for the colors.  Overall the Play Foam from Educational Insights is a great product for kids to play around with and you really can’t beat the price!
