Educational Insights Playfoam Pals Monster Party 6-Pack, Fidget, Sensory Toy for Boys & Girls, Ages 3+

Was very surprised at these. I am one of those moms that hates slime and playdoh because of the mess. I hate messy toys that I am going to have to spend twenty minutes cleaning up after. My kids heard about these from a school fundraiser and I ended up buying them on Amazon for their Easter baskets. They held my kids attention for at least an hour and half straight. That my friends is a miracle by itself. But the best part was it didn’t get everywhere. They played and played and it wasn’t a mess. It comes with a little toy pet in the middle of the foam stuff and my kids loved it. They put it away for a few days and come back and play with it more. A good buy in my book. Very happy. My kids are 5,7 and 12. All 3 loved these things.

Fun and cool little things ! My kids loved them and seeing what surprises came in them! They also glow in the dark so they where amazed by them! Texture was not to sticky which I loved because they didn’t ruin anything thanks god!

My children really enjoy kinetic sand, thinking putty, Floof, play foam, and Play-dough. They spend hours building play-dough villages and then stomping them flat with their plastic dinosaurs. Combining a plastic toy creature with a sculpt-able material is quite frankly a genius idea. My children adore them. In our pack of 6 we received 1 duplicate (but as I was giving 3 to each of my kids, they each just got one). The kids enjoy the PlayFoam. I think it is a bit sticky. didn't leave much of a residue on our hands, but I would wash hands after using it. The PlayFoam did pick up stray hairs and other bits of dust that were near by, do beware of that. I have my kids use art trays or the silicone mats that they use for Play-dough when they are playing with PlayFoam. I imagine it would be difficult to remove from carpet or furniture. PlayFoam appears to be little tiny Styrofoam balls held together by slightly less sticky glue that doesn't dry out. It holds its shape well. The glow in the dark is a fun gimick, but highly impractical for a messy craft toy. It just makes the kids want to play with it in the dark, or keep their creations out at night instead of cleaning up when they are done playing. The heads also come off a little too easily. The kids have enjoyed making nests, cakes, caves, monster traps, and more with their creatures and PlayFoam so far. I like that it comes in a container that it can be stored in when you aren't using it. Solid product, good for the preschool-first grade set. A bit too expensive to give away as anything other than a gift.

Kids had fun opening these to find the hidden pet. They love playing with these. I would recommend this item.I bought so the kids had other textures to play with other then slime, playdoh, etc.

These are great craft items that the kids play with over and over. Let's them be creative.
