Learning Resources EI-1927 Playfoam GO Squishy Sandcastle

Brilliant play foam, doesn’t dry out even when my son left it out all day! Lovely little carry container for it too and love the additional plastic animals, so cute!

This toy is great for children at a range of ages! My two children love to play with this at it stimulates lots of different senses. It also helps promote their creative and fine motor skills by building with the squishy foam. Comes in a fun little carry case. Love it!

The bold claims that the play foam is suitable to be used anytime, anywhere are very misleading. Small bits shed from the foam as it is handled, so it ought to be used on a tray. The foam is not as reusable as suggested, because quite quickly the colours will start to mix into each other.We found the the play foam, does not work well with the moulds in the case. It is best just to allow children to mould the foam into a coral garden. There are 5 cute sea creatures figures included that can interact with foam.The carry case looks good, but it does not prevent the foam colour from cross contaminating once opened.Overall this set is an interesting value for money experience for 4-5 year olds.

The media could not be loaded. This play foam is beautifully presented in a carry castle container. You get six individually wrapped packets of coloured foam and five sea creature play figures.Me and my 6 year old played with this, her first reaction was that it smells! And she wasn’t wrong it is a cross between plastic and glue and it is quite strong. The foam itself has the consistency of polystyrene balls covered in sticky stuff! So much so it sticks to your hand.It moulds fairly easily in a ball but it isn’t as precise as play dough as after you squeeze it - it expands again! The mould shapes in the castle were useless really. If you put in just enough to make the shape it falls apart when you take it out and if you press a lump into it you get a rough shape in your lump and you can’t play with it. I made a snowman but my daughter struggled to make anything with it and enjoyed mixing the colours for fun rather than creating.My daughter ended up using the foam to conceal the play figures and mammy and daddy had to guess what was in the lump of foam, which was fun but doesn’t really live up to what we expected we could do with this. Also inevitably she mixed all the colours and there is no way you could unmix them after.My 6 year old after the initial dislike of the smell enjoyed playing with this, I was disappointed with it. It boasts you can use moulds with it, you can’t. It says it doesn’t stick to hands, it does! (I’ve even photographed this) It is very basic in my opinion and not worth £16.50 (Jan ‘20) there are much cheaper and better alternatives. I’ve gave this 3 stars, one for the carry case, one for the play figures and one as my daughter had a good time. It lost a star because of the awful smell and another star because it’s difficult for my daughter to shape it into anything.I would not purchase again and I do not recommend it.

We have had the chance to try some of the play foam products before and this one is far the best as it comes with so much that can be used for different things (sand box bath etc)You get a sandcastle carry case which has a carry handle, seashell moulds, 6 different colour play foams and ocean animals (Dolphin Shark Seal Octopus and turtle)It’s very portable so we have taken it on car journeys just minus the play foam as didn’t want this in the car.Very relaxing, mess free, don’t stick any where apart from itself however did come with some faults - smelt a bit and once you mixed the colours together you couldn’t remix them.This was a great product used with water or sand but I would say not great with the play foam.So we have kept the accessories and Chuck the play foam away.

Lovely play foam set. The carry case also acts as a mould with various different shapes. Lovely additional plastic animals also. More practical than play doh in the sense that it doesnt dry out however it has some of the same triats like the colours mix together inseparably and sticks in the carpet. I knocked a star off as it would have been nice if there were separate resealable containers for all the different colours. Would recommend.

I love the case and accessories that come with this set as they are easily used with other types of sensory toys tooThe foam itself is great fun for my 4 year old but will not last that long. It is great to get him used to the feel of different textures and he had fun exploring different shapes with the foam but he did get bored quite easily

My daughter loves these sticky beads, I personally don't get it! Within 5 minutes all the colours were mixed up into 1 hunt multicoloured ball! It's just a sensory shaping toy, quickly forgotten about. The box is nice it comes in but I can see it being used for other things. The toys it came with are cute plastic sea creatures, they were played with separately. For ages 5+ but my 4 year old has had these before even when he was 3. Didn't have a smell to it like you might imagine.

Alors, joli boite en forme de château ! pratique pour tous ranger a la fin , c'est du sable a modeler , grande tendance ,il ne colle pas au doigt et facile a modeler, parfait pour developer la motricité aux enfants et aussi parfait pour s'amuser tout long de l'année , je recommande .

Ottimo gioco, molto accattivante questo abbinamento della playfoam con degli animaletti davvero ben fatti e graziosi con cui poter giocare costruendo degli scenari. Comoda da riporre nella valigetta a forma di castello, dopo più di un mese di utilizzo non si è asciugata e non è affatto vero che le palline si perdono, anzi sono ben incollate e se capita che si mischiano con quelle di altro colore possono essere facilmente recuperate e riattaccate al loro gruppo. Non sporcano affatto, come la plastilina o la sabbia. Consigliato!

The media could not be loaded. Se trata de un set muy práctico para cuando estás fuera de casa y necesitas que estén entretenidos y evitar echar mano de tablet o móviles, que son muy poco recomendables a estas edades.Este set me gusta porque ocupa muy poco espacio, lo puedes meter incluso en una mochila o en cualquier parte del coche. El maletín se abre y se cierra muy bien y el cierre es bastante resistente, lo pueden transportar sin ningún problema y no tienen problemas al abrirlo y cerrarlo.Otro aspecto que nos ha gustado es que el propio maletín tiene forma de castillo y puede formar parte del juego, igual que los 5 moldes que tiene integrados. Esto hace que sean menos piezas de las que tener cuidado de que no se pierdan o se caigan. También hay que destacar la calidad del foam, es un pelín pegajoso, pero no mancha, lo manejan muy bien cuando lo manipulan, se adaptan perfectamente al molde y se suelta sin problemas. Además, se puede reutilizar todo lo que quieras y mezclar.También trae 5 animales que complementan bastante el juego.Lo recomiendo como un juguete para llevar fuera de casa, porque estimula su creatividad y la motricidad fina de una manera segura, divertida y que, además, es muy fácil de transportar.

We are huge fans of playfoam so I knew my kids would love this set! This set comes with 6 bricks of playfoam and it also comes with 5 sea animal friends. It also comes in a carrying set with built in molds so we will definitely be taking this set with us next time we travel. Playfoam keeps my kids (ages 3.5 & 5) occupied for a long time! I am a huge fan of sensory play so I love that my kids can use their imagination to create different things and the possibilities are endless on what they can make with playfoam. One of my favorite things about playfoam is that clean up is so easy and especially with this set because we can put everything back in the carrying case when they are done playing. We have a ton of playfoam in our house and it never dries up! We love playfoam and we highly recommend it!

Sto apprezzando molto i giochi della Learning Resources. Si tratta di un'azienda che ancora non conoscevo ma che offre un'ampia gamma di prodotti per bambini, ragazzi e teenager. Tutti ben progettati e realizzati con grande attenzione.Questa pasta Playfoam mi piace perché aiuta il nostro bimbo a sfogare il desiderio di manipolare e plasmare ma non sporca come quegli abomini degli slime. Nonostante sia comunque divertente e colorata! Ottimo acquisto soprattutto per le mamme più attente alla pulizia.Bello il concetto del castello morbidoso, le possibilità di gioco sono veramente infinite!
