This ingenious foam is lots of fun to squish, squeeze…and mold into incredible creations! The innovative modeling material won’t dry out when exposed to air—so kids can build and rebuild tons of sculptures and designs. You get 6 blocks of foam in 6 colors; each block measures approximately 2 3/4"w x 1 1/2"d x 4 1/4"h.

Great sensory activity for kindergartners and up!

Great sensory activity for kindergarten srudents and above. I recommend placing on a large tray for easy play. Unlike play dough this has a more firm texture to it. Great for molding and making dun objects out of. When done playing with just place in a plastic bin or bag for additional use.

Great Price, Not that easy to mold

This stuff is a great price value but I found that my preschool students have a hard time molding this stuff, so it didn't get played with as much as I anticipated. On the other hand though, due to its firmness, it has the potential to really increase motor skills and muscle : )

Cool concept

I am not sure how the colors would stay separated. The pieces are teeny tiny spheres. Good fine motor development and creativity. But if you don't mind that all the colors end up blended together by a young child, then it should be OK.
