Floam! Here is a toy that my kids have begged and begged for, and the TV commercials make it look so fun. Our neighbor friend brought some over a few weeks ago, and it was not all that we had hoped.
1)It smells, really bad.
2)It gets all over your hands and requires alot of soap to get off.
3)It was pretty fun to build things with, but the gross factor outweighed the fun- and that is my kids' evaluation.

So I was at market the other day and found a great alternative. It is called Play Foam and it is distributed by Educational Insights and also Faber Castell. It is the same sticky bead concept, but without the smell, and without the mess. I got a couple of samples to bring home and the kids are completely obsessed. They have been playing with it for a couple of hours now, making all kinds of things. OK, one of the kids left the PlayFoam out - on the carpeted floor! Yikes! Amazingly enough, I picked it right up, there is nothing stuck to the carpet, and the playfoam is not dried out! This stuff is brilliant!
