Disappointed
I thought this looked amazing and my 3 children would enjoy playing with it together! Unfortunately, the Playfoam does NOT stay together well and we had tiny foam balls ALL over the kitchen table. I'm thankful that the kids used it strictly on the table so we could ensure little pieces didn't make it to the floor - what a mess!

So fun for playtime!
My daughter loves to use the playfoam to build things for the little sea creatures that came with this set. She plays independently with this, which is a win!

Love this!
We bought this product on the first day of the month-long quarantine. We were looking for something that would keep our 3 year old occupied while I worked from home and my old child continued her schooling online. This product is great. I'm able to leave it out on the table for my 3 year old to come over to anytime he wants. It doesn't dry out and is easy to clean up. T...

Great design!
I loved the toy and the design of how it's packaged. My 4 year old daughter loved playing with the sand foam and the ocean animal figurines were great too. She's been learning a lot about ocean animals recently so this was a great toy for her continued learning. I also loved how easy cleanup was. That's partly why I don't like play doh because of the cleanup but this wa...

Colorful, no mess and fun!
My daughter absolutely loves playing in the sand - but i hate the cleanup. This toy was a great alternative. She loved the colors of the playfoam - and her easy ability to make shapes. But best of all are the little animals that came with the set. Super cute!

Fun playfoam set that includes 5 sea animals & built in mold
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 ...

Fun indoor play!
My almost three year old son was pumped when he got this Playfoam set! It held his attention for quite a while as he mixed all of the colors and played with the sea life figurines. As a parent, clean up was much easier than other items that get stuck in our carpet, but I do still keep finding little foam balls around the house. Overall, it is fun and I would recommend t...

Squishtastic
I was impressed with the design. My kids instantly thought sand castle. They were so excited to see ocean creatures along with the play foam. I like that the foam last a long time. My kids played with it for awhile and it didn't dry out. It's fun and you can not only build a castle but other creations.

Love this!
My 2 year old son had a blast playing with this! He like the texture as it is different than play dough but still acts like play dough. This kept him busy for at least 30 minutes. I would definitely recommend this for kids to play with.

It comes with some absolutely adorable little sea creature figurines to play with, too! I would definitely recommend this stuff to anyone!

Easy clean-up
This is a great sensory toy! Both my 3 and 5 year old really enjoyed playing with it. The included ocean animals were really cute. The best part is that it comes with a carrying case. This makes the clean-up really easy and I love that the toy is portable.

Great activity toy for small kids
Playfoam GO! Squishy Sandcastle is a great activity toy. It includes castle storage, colorful squishy foams, small plastic creatures, and molds. My kids have a blast every time they play with it. They can be so creative with squishy colorful foams. They are little sticky to touch but they don't leave any residues nor transfer to any surfaces. They're easy to clean up an...

Lots of fun and doesn't dry out!
My kids love Playfoam so this was a lot of fun for them. The castle container design was super cute and it allowed for the Playfoam as well as the sea creatures included to all fit inside. The sea creature figurines are very cute and durable. My kids enjoyed playing with them separately, as well. This is a good travel toy since the case makes it easy to carry everything...

Encourages creativity and sensory play!
This sandcastle with floam is super cute! My 3.5 year old son really loved the little sea creatures it came with. The first thing he wanted to do was have them jump into the floam like it was water. The sandcastle has a handle for carrying and molds for using with the floam. My kid is obsessed with all types of buildings so a castle was a big hit, especially one he can ...

Sensory fun wherever you go
I admit, I have fun playing with this as well.
On our last flight with the kids we didn't have a great solution for bringing our Playfoam. This castle solves the problem and provides some extra fun. First off, everything fits in the package which is a huge plus - just grab and go. The standalone sea creatures are solid and well made. There is plenty of space in the cas...
