Educational Insights Pluffle® Mini 8-Pack - Sensory Bin Foam Set, No Mess Alternative to Sand Toys & Slime for Toddlers, Fun Sensory Table Filler for Home or Classroom, Gift for Kids Ages 3+

Great for Sensory Seeking Kiddos!What can I say? My preschoolers LOVE floam! It gives them an alternative to sand and playdough.Pros: Great colors, and the colors do not mix. If you put red and blue together, the pieces stay red and blue and do not make purple. Colors also do not come off on your hands. No smell. Does not clump. Provides a great sensory outlet for sensory seeking kiddos. There's also more in the canister than you think. Floam "grows" once you take it out of the canister.Cons: It doesn't clump. I did not buy it for that property, but if you were looking for something that will clump together, Floam is not it. It is difficult to clean up. I used it in a tray for my preschoolers. Not a good idea. Needed something with sides, so I bought some trays from Target's Bright Room line, and they worked well. Once you've mixed the colors, it's over. They will always be mixed. So, if you want to keep your colors pure, you may need to buy more than one multipack.

I first discovered this on TikTok Shop and thought it would make a fun and unique sensory filler for my classroom bin. However, it was way overpriced there, so I found a better deal—two boxes of eight for around $30. I used it to create a smaller sensory bin, and I found that four jars were plenty for a compact setup.The colors mix beautifully, and the kids are absolutely fascinated by how the pluffle moves on its own with just a little push—that was their favorite part! It’s not like playdough, but you can mold it into shapes, and it stays that way until you touch it again, then it starts shifting on its own, which is so fun to watch.The only downside is that it can stick to you if you’re not careful, but it’s super easy to clean up and never dries out. My students could play with this for as long as I let them without getting bored. Just add a few small toys, and their imagination takes over! If they release more colors, I’ll definitely be buying them. Highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded. Kids and adults love them! So mesmerizing!!! Just fun to play with without feeling all sandy or sticky!

unlike play doh, you can not mold this. You have to squeeze very hard and then it immediately falls aparts. It's not sticky and the colors won't blend together which is nice. But other than squeezing it and watching it re expand, there's nothing else going on there. Pretty much a waste of money and a really big mess to clean up

If you don't use a container to put it in you will regret it. Size is great. Scent isn't too bad. Quality is cool. Functions wired in my terms but does what it's supposed to. The color appears vibrant.

Really fun to play with, sticks together with pressure then comes a apart as you open your hand, easy to vacuum and wont ruin anything. pretty colors.

I am a special education teacher for pre-K and kindergarten. I am always looking for new and interesting sensory activities. I was skeptical at first that the product stayed separate when I saw videos. It definitely stays separated into the different colors. I thought it would be more like play-doh and blend together eventually making a new color. I can choose different colors to put together for different themes such as purple, green and yellow for Mardi Gras, red and green for Christmas, or orange and black for Halloween. It is mesmerizing to watch the Pluffle because it appears to be moving by itself. I can’t wait to start the school year with this stuff. I am using red, and yellow together and placing little resins that look like school supplies for the students to find. I sent the link to my occupational and speech therapists for them to use. This will also probably be my new go to gift for birthdays.

Purchased as Christmas gift for 7 yrs old. She has had such a blast with this. And even mixed them. Our toddler plays with them also. Non toxic is a plus. they do not dry out. Beautiful colors. No nasty smells. Fun for allllll ages!
