The new PlayFoam Jumbo 12-Pack gives you more foam to squish, shape and mold. This double-decker package includes two amazing new colors -- purple and gray -- along with PlayFoam classic colors: yellow, blue, green, orange, pink and white. We've even doubled the colors kids use most (yellow, blue, green, white). PlayFoam never dries out and won't crumble or stick to skin or other surfaces, so clean up is always a snap. PlayFoam is nontoxic and non-allergenic.

Summary: Hmmmmm
Comment: My daughter seems to love this stuff, but the foam pellets do separate out and it's hard to pick them up. It's kind of like having tiny styrofoam "peanuts" all over your house. We were given a brick as a present and I'm glad, because now I know I don't like it enough to buy it.

Summary: Jumbo PlayFoam 12 Pack
Comment: Kids are really enjoying this. I was looking for a gluten-free alternative to playdough. It has a strong smell if you hold it up to your nose so I wonder about the chemicals used to have the foam stick together...

Summary: Pretty fun, but short life span....
Comment: This is a great moldable toy, and my kids had a lot of fun with it. They played with it as shown on the box for about 2-3 days, keeping colors separate and using them to make different creations.
But by day 4 even the older ones (7,9) couldn't resist mushing the colors together, and then Playfloam becomes a weird colored blob. The fact there was no special container to store it like playdoh (I suppose because it doesn't harden) meant that my kids just left it out. And when it dropped on the rug, fibers would get into the floam and then it really looked quite undesirable.
Eventually, 2 weeks later, I tossed the whole thing, thinking it just looked gross and unsanitary. My kids by then had lost interest in making anything out of the grayish blob, but they did still walk by and just mush it.
If you want to make this toy last a bit longer, I would suggest opening the box carefully and providing sandwich bags for each color for storate. Then I would supervise the kids a bit, and discourage wholesale mashing of all the colors together because while that may feel fun, kids will quickly lose interest in making stuff out of a grayish blob.
And even though it doesn't dry out, I would still encourage the kids to store the playfloam in sandwich bags so it doesn't pick up dust, dog hair, and/or other stuff from being dropped on the rug/floor/etc... Then you can store the sandwich bags in the original box. If you use it this way, it will probably last a very long time.
Overall, a fun activity. And even if you purchased it for a one time use, like a birthday party or a rainy day activity, it still is a pretty good value - not much more expensive than taking a child to a movie.

Summary: lots of fun for all!
Comment: I agree with the "grandma" reviewer - We received this as a Chanukah gift for my 2 year old and sunday morning, both he and his 9 year old brother were very excited to play with it. They had a great time playing with it!! It is so rare to find something they can both enjoy together. I am so glad to have this fun, squishy, creative, non-messy toy! By the way, how do other people keep it once it is out of the bags? Mine mixed up the colors as well, but who cares?!

Summary: PlayFoam is fun for the whole family
Comment: I purchased the 12 pack of PlayFoam for our grandchildren - 5 year old twins. They loved it and so did the rest of the family. It doesn't have any odor, doesn't dry out like Playdough, it sticks together and but doesn't stick to you. They mixed the colors up, but so what?? It's a great creative activity.
