Good, but doesn't last very long
Someone actually got this for me for me for Christmas because they know that I like to have fidget toys at my computer to play with while I'm working. I opened one pod and started playing with it, and it was pretty good. After first opening it, it's kind of tough but easy to break into. However, I found that after just a few days, the foam balls start to shrink and it becomes much smaller than before. The balls also fall out constantly and it can make a big mess. Since there's very little actual slime in it, the balls dry up quickly and it becomes really grimy and not fun to play with. I started mixing pairs of foam pods together to keep the size and I opened a new pod about once a week. Overall, it's pretty good for playing with while it's fresh. Just don't expect it to last very long.

I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.
My daughter likes to create things with it. It's great because it does not dry out or destroy your carpet. I am a kindergarten aide and we could use it to practice making letters. .

Great Colorful Fun!
Great for creative play without all of the messy clean up involved with clay and dough...the colors are wonderful--some even have glitter in them!

Terrible product, made huge mess
Immediately started finding balls everywhere. Our daughter has a stuffed bunny that she sleeps with every night. The balls were so entangled in the bunny's fur that we had to wash it overnight. The balls then got all in our washing machine and dryer, and over everything else that we washed. I am not one to write reviews, but wanted to warn other parents about this!

Pretty good form
We used this foam for a 2nd grade habitat project. It starts off strong molding into many different shapes (we were doing coral) but eventually falls apart or "wilts" . Still it was colorful and fun and worked in the end.

Endless Possibilities
We love this! I have a 3 year old and a 10 year old and they both love this! You can play with this in the car, while waiting at a restaurant. It doesn't stick to the carpet. However, we have cats and dogs and it will pick up their fur. My son has already made a dinosaur, elephant and I made a pig. I like that it is easier to use than regular clay and it doesn't dry out like play-doh. My kinds want to put it in the water to see if it will float. We haven't done this yet. I am super glad that it is non-toxic. My daughter did put it in her mouth and quickly spit it out. She loves the sparkly pnk

AMAZING!! Throw out your playdough!
We have an almost 3 year old - we bought this last night and it was a hit - not just with our Son but with us! It allows him to be creative, make things and we don't have to worry about it sticking to the rug, floor or us! Not sure what it's made of but it stays together and allows you to make things - we even added pipe cleaners and googly eyes to make bugs! Great product - wish we had found it sooner!

Ah, Chels, thanks for the great review!
Perfect for Halloween, Stocking Stuffers and Easter
Considering the times, I wanted to buy something that would be safe for kids Trick or Treating and I thought these would be great. The parents can clean the package and the kids could still be able to play with what is inside. I am thinking of buying more for Stocking stuffers and for Easter baskets too. I think this is a much better option over candy, kids can use this more than one time. I think parents will feel more safe knowing their kids received something they can play with and not have to worry about it- as I was thinking for my own child that I don't know how I feel about him receiving candy this year. this is a perfect alternative.
