Back away slowly and save yourself. The cleanup is a nightmare.

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2018

This stuff is really fun...right until it's time to clean up. The tiny foam balls that make up the PlayFoam are held together by a light adhesive. What it leaves behind is the stuff you have to deal with when you fail to cleanly peel a sticker off plastic. I had to scrub, scrub, scrub my table, and kept getting little rolls of adhesive sticky off the table. And unfortunately for me, the kids were putting this stuff into little clear plastic containers (a see-through 3-D geometric set). I just spent about an hour getting 5 pieces of the 28 clean...and, of course, I'm scratching the plastic pieces in the process. Dawn doesn't touch it...Windex fails...I'll try Mr. Clean Magic Erasers next. The kids will be disappointed to discover that the PlayFoam is gone, but they'll never be as disappointed as I am in this ridiculous mess. Ugh.

Very messy. Not "no mess" as advertised.

I bought this for my son for Christmas because he had one before that he loved and we lost. I bought this because it was a good price and I was ordering a bunch of other stuff on Amazon. We finally opened it today and it was a mess. So much so that he couldn't shape anything. My husband then tried, thinking maybe my son was just having trouble. Nope. Too messy to even work with.

Incredible disappointment

This is nothing like floam, don’t waste your money! The beads got EVERYWHERE and stuck to everything. The foam was dry and felt more like tiny beads held together by faith than anything else. I added some slime to try and make it better, but it didn’t work. The more you try to mold it, the more mess you make. I had to play with it over a trash can because of how much fall out there was, and in huge chunks!

I got this foam for our girls, who are 7 years old. They were absolutely infatuated! First they experimented with combining colors, then they took to building elaborate things. Buildings, characters, creatures. They were engrossed in this pretend world where they could create anything- the foam holds its shape much more easily than playdough. It is very very lightweight, so your buildings can be completely top-heavy and still stand up. To our amazement, they sat there playing with this at the table for 4 hours!!! Laughing, singing, doing silly voices. I've never seen anything hold their attention so long. When they were done, they just put the foam in a ziplock bag and there was nothing to clean up. Our dining table has a glossy white surface, this left no marks or stains. No messes like with playdough, kinetic sand, etc. We only gave them half of the colors so we still have half the pack for some future occasion where we need them out of our hair. Though for less than 10 bucks, even if they never touch it again it was worth it. As far as some of the negative reviews, I would honestly say please use common sense. Don't use this on carpets. Don't let your kid stick it to the curtains or the cat. For an activity to do sitting down calmly, it's great. If your kiddo is still a tot and will try to put the foam in their nose, I'd say hang onto it until they're a bit older and can appreciate it more.

I wanted to love this product but definitely don't like it

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

My granddaughter really wanted this (she discovered it on youtube). I was excited to get it for her. (she's 3). I wanted to love this product but definitely don't like it. It's sticky and attracts debris and dog / cat hair. It also comes apart and the tiny balls are all over the place. Also not good for a curious toddler who is not afraid to stick something way up their nose (in my case anyway. :)
I also don't like that it has glitter on it. Would not purchase again.

Sticky, stinky, messy Ick

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

"Mess free"? Not by a Long shot! And the smell is atrocious. Imagine trying to play with poorly made rice crispy treats steeped in dead box-elder/stink bug guts. Only instead of rice crispies, it's teeny tiny little styrofoam bee-bees that get all over Everywhere and STICK there. Add to that, some of it has glitter as well.
So you have pretty much no chance of Not having at least Something stuck to something you did Not want to have stuff stuck to.
So yes, Sooo much fun. Not.
The only positive I can say about this stuff is that it doesn't seem to stain anything. Which is good because there's No way you would be able to get that stench off whatever it was.
I don't have kids, but if I did, there's No Way I'd let this stuff near them. Period.

I should’ve headed the warnings of other reviewers...

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

The only thing my daughter and I found we could successfully make was a sticky mess of our hands. It’s pretty much impossible to form/shape/mold something, since this stuff sticks more to hands than itself. If you ever do somewhat form something, when you take your hands off of it, most of it just pulls away, so it can stick to your hands, instead.
The only thing this stuff succeeded at was frustrating me and making me want really marshmallowy Rice Krispie Treats (which frustrated me even more, since I don’t have them). My little girl and I give it a thumbs down. *thanks to those who tried to warn me. At least I got it on a decent sale (like $5.-something, so that takes the sting out a little)

always a great buy and lots of fun!

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have bought this exact set multiple times! my kids adore it! I love all the colors. They are vibrant and fun. Also that when you mix them it doesn't act like playdough and turn one yucky color. It doesn't dry out so it lasts so much longer than other products. I have compared it to many other brands from other stores, and this one seems to be the best quality. It doesn't leave that weird residue that you can never get off no matter how hard you wash. It comes easily out of hair, rugs, fabrics, and kitty's tails. I just throw it in a ziplock baggie when they are done with it. I think it is well worth the price. I have paid the same consistent price for about a year now. I also like that I don't have to wait to see if it is going to go on sale, or worry that the price fluctuates and it isn't worth it so I have to wait. I buy this for my daughter's head start classroom all the time. all the parents love it and have asked for the link multiple times!

Amazing!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 29, 2018

I haven't a clue what some of the negative reviews are banging on about, this stuff is amazing.

Bought for my 4 year old for his birthday, as an alternative to play doh which was invented by Satan and bought by one of his sadist minions.

It's just awesome. It feels slightly sticky to the touch but leaves no mess or residue on your hands, clothes, carpet or furniture. It looks like tiny pieces of colourful Styrofoam but it only sticks to itself.
True, some pieces do break away while it's being played with but they don't get stuck to the carpet like the dreaded p word does. They can either be easily picked up using a larger blob and dabbing them up or if you can't be bothered, hoover them up.

My kid mashed all 8 colours into a rainbow blob within minutes of opening it but he's still playing with 2 hours later so I'm not too worried.

I saw another review about it smelling bad...it did smell a bit chemically when we opened the package but that faded within a couple of minutes.

Good fun, less of a disaster than playdough

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

We tried this after getting sick of trying to get playdough out of the living room carpet. This stuff looked as though it might be easier to clean up as the piece are a fixed size, they look like tiny little polystyrene balls, brightly coloured and mixed through with some sort of semi sticky mastic that gives the whole thing a similar feel to a rice crispy square. So far it seems like an improvement over playdough, as even though a small number of the small beads transfer regularly into hair and hands, they definitely do come out easily. The children find it mildly infuriating that the different colours stick together so well, even with only brief and accidental contact, but at least given the bead size, they can separated and regrouped with a certain amount of patience. The resolution of the crafted parts is very low, so you can't do fine detail and have to think big, but it doesn't seem to diminish the enjoyment.

As this was the first time we bought this product we tried the cheapest version we could find which didn't include any storage containers or travel cases - so time will tell if the bold 'NEVER DRIES OUT' claim holds true! Currently highly recommended, if you understand the limitations.

Not overly impressed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this product for the below reasons.
You may have better results!

They say: This learning resources award winning product helps develop fine motor skills for little hands.
I say: This assumes that you can get them to play with it at all. My little one really didn't like the feel of it at all.

They say: It does not stick to hands, clothes or carpet, just to itself.
I say: It sticks to clothing, carpets, hands and anything else it comes into contact with.

They say: What's even better is playfoam never dries out, so children can display their masterpieces rather than having to put it all back in the box.
I say: Great, now it is ground into my carpet I ain't never gonna get it out :(

They say: Children simply mould playfoam into anything in their imagination before squashing it down and starting again, offering endless play opportunities.
I say: So long as the "anything in their imagination" is a nondescript ball shape, this is true. Anything more intricate just seems to fall apart. I tried making a 1" thick sausage and it just kept breaking up.

laminate floor and grey colour scheme lovers need to buy this over playdough every time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Possibly my fav buy. I love the creativity that play dough provides but hate the mess it makes when it gets into the tiny gaps in my laminates. This is as easy to use to create things as playdough but without the mess!!!! I wish there was more of the product itself as it looks like there's more than there is but for me, it's worth every penny when it is minimal clean up.
Also great for sensory input for kids with sensory processing problems or autism but fun for all

Love these. Use it all the time. Not as easy as.playdough to mould but still just as fun. The individual colours are small so have mixed them to have four sets of platform rather than eight. the good thing about that is, unlike playdough, it just looks multicoloured and doesn't go brown(!) Would recommend. Good price compared to other similar products.
