Toys and Games Reviews of Play Foam Activity Set
Customer Review: Playfoam vs Playdough
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this because of a newspaper article which indicated it was rated as one of the 10 highest preferred toys by CHILDREN. The newspaper indicated this could be for a child as young as 3, (my granddaughter is nearly 3), though the package says age 5. I had not actually seen this product and did not know what to expect, but I believe I expected "foam" of some type. Actually this product is very tiny styrofoam balls that are held together by an invisible sticky substance. We did not allow her to use the Playfoam unsupervised, but under supervision she loved making snakes and balls. When compared to Playdough, it was much easier to clean up if some dropped on the floor and even from the play surface. It held together fairly well, though the bulkier substance does not allow for fine molding like Playdough. Therefore don't plan to sculpt it. Details needed to be added by the accessories that came in this "activity set" such as eyes, windows, feathers (kind of a disaster because all parts of them would stick and it was nearly impossible to remove the little "balls" from the feather) Colors do not blend like Playdough--therefore mixing blue and pink will not give you lavender but is like pointillism due to the individuality of the styrofoam balls.
