My 3-year-old son liked Floam because of the goop factor, but unfortunately the goop the little foam pellets are suspended in seems to be a GREAT medium for growing MOLD. This happened to us twice (despite clean hands/work space) so we gave up on it entirely.

I suggest you try PlayFoam instead. It's also available here on Amazon, or at Lakeshore Learning Store (look for samples at the checkout for 49 cents!) Playfoam has a nicer consistency, less sticky (but still moldable) and no odor!

Do not waste your money. My son was so excited to get floam. He had been asking for it for a very long time. Finally I gave in and bought it. It is like little pellets in green slime. It is so wet and slimy that it is not possible to mold it into anything. And you can't stick it to anything like they show in the commercials because once you touch it it is hard to get the slimy mess of off your hands. It is very messy and impossible to play with. The commercials are very misleading.

This stuff is the messiest, stickyest garbage in the history of the world. Gareenteed to make a major mess. Nothing like you see on TV! Stay away!

I bought the familiy fun pack ($65) from the ad on TV! What a mistake! When it arrived one tub was open and spilled all inside the box while another unopened tub was nearly dried out. No return label or customer service number was enclosed so I couldn't even return it! It is such a mess and smells like chemicals. It stuck to a votive candle holder ok and it looks kind of cute but when you try to just mold it all it does is stick to EVERYTHING including your hands. Some are really gooey like slimy paint while other tubs are nearly dry and you end up with micro-mini styrofoam beads all over the place and they sink down into the carpeting and won't come out. Needless to say, it sat around for awhile until it finally made it's way to it's new home....the trash!

The floam and beads easily separate, which required us to "mix" it together everytime the kids used it.

While in a matter of weeks it was turning black with mold. Most disgusting!

No matter how much pleading will NEVER buy again. I gave it a two because the kids really did enjoy it.

This stuff is a waste of money. It is too sticky to do anything with. I threw it all away and the kids didn't even care. Lousy product!

If 0 stars were an option, that's what I would have given this awful product. Doesn't work anything like they show on TV. So sticky, messy, and slimy, and the smell is just awful. I didn't even want my kids to touch it because of the terrible chemical smell. I find it hard to believe they can label this product "non-toxic". Total false advertising. Do not buy this mess.

My daughter asked Santa for this and only this...what a mistake! She is so disappointed. It so sticky, it is like honey with beads in it. She has some at her school that she loves that I have since discovered is Play Foam, which is a great product. We have left the lid off the Floam for 2 days and it is still too sticky to use. DO NOT BUY IT! Plus, I just discovered online that Play Foam is cheaper.

It's sticky and hard to manage and TERRIBLE to clean up. Buy it only for kids whose parents you don't like.

I can't really add anything to what is said in the other reviews. This is a terrible product. It sticks to everything - hands, tables, rugs, dogs, everything. Disgusting. I only wish I had read these reviews before I let my kids put it on their Christmas lists!
