Worst "toy" ever
This was item available from our 1st grader's school fundraiser and he thought it looked like fun. It took less than 5 minutes to figure out there's not much you can do with this stuff other than squish it between your fingers ... and the tiny beads stick to your fingers. It's much like working with Rice Krispie Treats, only they hold together better. VERY disappointed in this!

    Never.
    I thought this stuff was great... no residue, easy to clean up, lasted a long time! Until...... my 5 year old thought it would be hysterical to put in her hair. That was in January. This is April. I comb this out with a lice comb every.single.night. And she still has it. It seems to attract fuzz once it is in your hair. When wet in her hair, it looks like chewing gum. When it is dry, it looks like balls of fuzz and that is what the lice comb grabs. It is horrible. Three months. I have tried everything and now we are cutting all her hair off tomorrow. This stuff stinks.

    Love this!
    I saw this in a shop and thought it looked pretty cool. The feel of it is quite nice, it feels quite sticky and you would expect it to leave stickiness on your hands.. but it doesn't! Which is really good. It doesn't have a strong smell and the colours are bright. My godson has sensory processing disorder and finds touching things quite difficult.. he held this play foam in his hands and although his face showed that he wasn't impressed, he didn't cry or through it away. He just kept playing with it. I was told that it doesn't stick to the carpet if pressed in, so I tried it out! And It didn't stick to the carpet. The carpet stuck to it! That's a little bit of a downside to this foam but that is to be expected as the foam has to stick together somehow. Overall, I think this play foam is a good alternative to play dough.. it doesn't stick to carpets, it doesn't smell bad and doesn't leave residue on your hands. It's bright, feels good in your hands and can be helpful for children with sensory issues. I will definitely be buying more!

    Awful Mess! No stars if possible
    My 3 yr old received this as a birthday gift from family member. As other reviewers stated it feels like playing with rice crispy treats. Unfortunately, the small beads DO stick to everything, especially trying to get it out of my daughter's hair! Also it will permanently leave a gummy residue on any surface. My daughter's table top to her high chair is destroyed. I was not able to get the player of goo off with a Mr. Clean eraser, Isopropyl alcohol or acetone -- trying to scrape off the too with a straight razor did not help either. I am not sure what this stuff is made of but I would not recommend to purchase and I have promptly thrown this in the garbage. I do not want this junk in my home!

    Worst birthday gift
    I got this for my birthday and its yucky. It sticks to my hands and stained them as well. I would never get this for my friends after the mess it made.

    Complete Mess
    My daughter received this as a birthday gift and it was a sticky mess. Not only did it stick to everything it also stained our hands. It took a scrub brush to remove the stains because soap and water didn't cut it.

    great product
    Here's the review straight from my 8 and 4 year old kids - "It's so much fun,lets buy more!It's so cool!" "It's better than play doh because it doesn't dry up." "It's better than kinetic sand because it is not messy." My 8 year old stretched it and made a chandelier and they both loved seeing the stretchy gluey string in between the beads. My 4 yr old asked her sister "Areyou having fun?"(playing with it) Sister said"Yes!" 4yr old said "Me too!Im really activated!" I pointed out that the with the other "doh" toy ,they can see the details on their creations and with the "sand" one,they can write on it,but they said "We like this one better.

    Again and Again!
    My 5 year old sculpted again and again! He loved the different animals he could make and my 9 year old loved smashing them :)
