If you hate Playdough, buy this instead
Ok. I was skeptical when I ordered this but I have been so happy. I despise play dough and just knew this would be the same. I was wrong. This stuff has NO SMELL AT ALL and DOES NOT dry out. (My son left it sitting out for weeks and it still feels like it did when it came out of the box).

Great learning fun!
We were so excited to test out Playfoam and the letter set. My 4 year old daughter is learning her alphabet and absolutely loves all things playdoh/slime related. We've had this set for over a month and she STILL is crazy about it. It combines learning and fun and I absolutely love the fact that the foam doesn't dry out! The set arrived right on time and was packaged great. The letters are on thick paper that very resilient and has held up to lots of fingers and activity for over a month. The foam was separated in a plastic container and is mostly mixed now but holding up perfectly. Definitely tossing out the playdoh and slime and only using playfoam from now on!

Not as sticky and leaves little balls behind but still for kids
Got this platform for the kids at my daycare I saw another co worker bring some and I enjoyed how the kids were engaging and so into it! Not sure where I get some similar to hers, but I think she made it actually. It is not too sticky but still sticks together. I mixed the colors for the kids because I know they would mix them anyway. They really loved it and asked for more! I did have to clean up some balls of pieces, but not too many! Some of the kids used the foam for the letters, most just played with it. Enjoyed the colors because I just balled it up and made like rainbow colors. No smell at all!

Not effective
I guess I had higher expectations for this. What I like most about this set would be the alphabet cards themselves. I like that they include the stroke order to writing the letters and a little illustration of something that begins with that letter in the corner of the card (queen for “Q”) However - the stroke order is somewhat lost in the process of using the floam to sculpt the letters. In fact the floam makes the whole process of using this set extremely frustrating for my 3yo because it is a bit unruly. I myself find it difficult to sculpt with. The foam balls shed out of the floam fairly easily, most likely due to its consistency. I appreciate that it is claims to “never dry out” but it is inherently dry and hard to work with because of the formula used. Overall the floam is fun to use on its own and the cards would be good to use under trace paper, or with regular play dough - rendering this particular set somewhat pointless.

Excelente recurso educativo para aprender jugando
Este set alfabético es excelente para ayudar a los niños a aprender las letras de manera divertida y práctica. Los materiales son resistentes, coloridos y fáciles de manipular. Fomenta el aprendizaje temprano, la motricidad fina y el reconocimiento de letras jugando. Ideal para uso en casa o en el salón de clases. Muy recomendado.

Awesome for sensory play!!
My 3 year old loves this play foam. The letter cards are very sturdy and are a great learning tool— now I just need to practice rolling the foam and helping her do the letters so she can play/learn independently....right now she just plays with the foam!! Which is totally fine!! This is a wonderful product— but beware the little balls do sneak apart sometimes— so be ready to check the floor under the table where your child plays for clean up.
