Why we love it
Play Foam receives our seal of approval because it is nontoxic, nondrying play foam that can be used over and over again. This toy will spark your child′s creativity as they come up with new artistic creations and then dismantle them to start again. It is one of the most fantastic toys for four year olds out there.
Features and Skills
- Children love playing with clay, dough or Playfoam because it is such a textural way to create expressions of their imagination. Encourage your child to use his/her sense of touch to make simple shapes such as balls or snakes with the Playfoam. Eventually he/she will create more representational figures; things he/she is familiar with, like a car or Mom.
- Explain to your child that when you mix two colors together you can make new colors. Have your preschooler predict what color he/she thinks will come out if you mix red and blue for example. At this age children are beginning to develop the ability to be able to predict outcomes using reason. This also fosters their spirit of experimentation.
- Invite some friends over. Suggest a theme and have each child make something within that theme, like types of food. Then the children can use it in symbolic play. For example, they can play grocery store or cooking show with the Playfoam food they created.

Product Reviews
Most sites have product reviews. At ebeanstalk we do it differently. All our reviews happen BEFORE a product makes it on our site. Our team of child-experts looked at, tested and selected only the best toys. Then, they matched the toys to a child’s stage of development. Then they custom write an instruction card for each and every toy. This is the ebeanstalk review process. No other site does this; not even close. By conducting the review ahead of time, we ensure that our toys are the best and you can trust that the toys you are buying are matched to a child’s stage of development.
HOWEVER, we still want your feedback. If you'd like to tell us your impressions of a toy, please email us at feedback@ebeanstalk.com
