Playfoam Shape & Learn Numbers Set, Flash Card Set, Preschool Kindergarten Classroom Essentials, Ages 3+

Love this item and it is perfect for creativity and fine motor skills. The cards and perfect for my three year old niece. The three year old instantly started mixing the colors and like play dough it is hard to separate. After awhile we just gave up and let it be a huge mix of colors. Never dries out is a plus. I wish this item came with a carrying case. The item only comes with a case that just has a peel back thing that’s plastic and that is not resealable. Some of the small balls in the item do sometimes get separated and were on the floor. They are easy to clean up.

This is an amazing product. It's easy to clean up, does not stick to the carpet and it never dries out. My kids spend hours playing with the foam. I will buy more for them. I recommend this over play doh and other sticky messy products.

Bought these cards for my kids. They are 4yrs old and absolutely loved them. Playing turned to learning right away! My only complaint is when the kids had smaller pieces or stretched it out too thin it was hard to manipulate for them. When I tried, it was also a little difficult but I was able to worked it back into a bigger piece. So I might use the mats with another product rather that’s the foam. And use the foam for texture discovery instead. Hence my 4 star review.

Great for preschoolers to strengthen their fingers and have number awareness

This is such a fun product! My older daughter is 8, and she just ADORED playing "teacher" with some younger pre-school aged friends that we had over at our house. THEY loved playing with the playfoam (and creating all sorts of fun shapes). SHE loved feeling like she was helping them to learn something new. I loved that there was no mess to clean up afterwards. I am going to call this an all around WIN!!!

My kids really enjoyed squishing it around and had fun playing with it. My four year old had a tough time molding it to make the shapes. I was not the biggest fan of how messy it gets. Little pieces of it seemed to come off all over. Also, if you see my picture, there is one that isn't in the nice holder so it all need to be taken out and put into separate bags. If it touches another color it will stick to it so it mixes very easily even having just two colors out. Over all, cute and fun, but not the biggest fan.

The playfoam works great as a no-mess sensory activity! My son is only 18 months so we aren't actually using the foam to practice numbers or shapes yet, but I wanted to get him some sort of a sensory toy that wouldn't make a huge mess. He loves to rip it up and then mash it all back together into a big ball. The foam doesn't dry out (I've left it out for the last two weeks or so and it's still like new) and it doesn't leave sticky residue behind on our hands or the table. It does pick-up a bit dirt / pet hair when dropped on the floor, but not nearly as badly as I was afraid of. Since my son is so young I do have to watch him like a hawk to make sure he isn't picking individual beads out of the foam to eat (which he now thinks is a hilarious game), but I know this won't be an issue once he gets a bit older (recommended age for this toy is 3+),

It was not easy to work with

Me gustó mucho este juego, es didáctico y entretenido a la vez, la forma en la que viene la plastilina es muy estimulante para los más pequeños y siempre se puede moldear ya que no se seca o se pone dura, se puede transportar y también puedes adquirir una caja para colocar diferentes colores y meter en la mochila o bolsa. Sin duda una gran opción.

Super fun and great for sensory play

Perfect for learning and clean tidy up no mess

I bought this for my 4 year old son. I thought they would help teach him about number formation. The set consists of cards 0-9, and some shape cards. It also has a range of play foam in different colours to mould onto the cards. We enjoyed doing this set. It was probably only about 15 minutes worth of entertainment but good fun all the same. I find I have to mix things up a bit anyway and I would certainly use it again. Ideally its probably more suitable for 3+

In età prescolare la manipolazione è importante per lo sviluppo delle abilità oculo-manuali ed il pregrafismo prepara alle attività che si svolgeranno a scuola. Questo set racchiude tutte queste possibilità, grazie ad 8 mattoncini di pasta modellabile e 13 schede robuste e colorate, a prova di bimbo! La pasta modellabile, divisa in mattoncini di diversi colori, è formata da tante perline, simili a piccole palline di polistirolo, tenute assieme da una sostanza collosa e atossica, che rende la pasta malleabile e non la fa seccare, neppure se lasciata all'aria, pronta per essere riutilizzata per creazioni sempre nuove. Vi sono 13 schede, 10 per i numeri, 3 per le figure geometriche. Le schede con i numeri presentano il numero scritto in inglese, lo stesso numero rappresentato graficamente e poi tradotto in immagini: all'uno corrisponde un astronauta, al tre vi sono 3 elefanti e così via. Grazie alla presenza di frecce, i bimbi possono stendere la pasta per realizzare il numero nella maniera corretta, partendo dall'alto. La stessa cosa è possibile fare per le immagini: triangolo, cerchio, stella. Con un costo di circa 20 euro, questo articolo è un'originale ed intelligente idea regalo. Spero che la mia recensione sia utile a futuri acquirenti.
