I'm not too surprised that a tub of Floam landed on my desk to test. I must admit that I didn't really read the instructions I got it straight out and started to squidge and pull the floam around - hours of fun! It's all gooey and stretchy and even bounces - reminded me of silly putty. It didn't take long for word to get around the office that I had "purple poo" and every soon had a bit, it's quite addictive.
Wasn't till later that I read the instructions. NOW I'm really sold on it - it's like modeling clay without the mess - official description is that it's modeling-clay-meets-porridge, with hundreds of tiny foam balls that give it stretchy quality.
So not only is it like putty bit you can also make stuff from it and decorate almost anything as it goes hard after a while once you take it out of the container.
Some great ideas they give you are: sticking it to flower pots, cut into shapes with pastry cutters, decorate school (or office) folders, it'll stick to almost anything so let your imagination run away. (Note to parents: don't panic it's safe and fun to use, and due to the balls that Floam uses they stick to each other but it can easily be removed from other surfaces).
Plus why not mix the colours to make new hues to have more fun with. I must admit I played it safe with my first creation and made a coaster.
I think this a great product to keep kids amused, during the holidays, and the answer to exhausted parents prayers. Have fun! Danielle Smith-Amazon.co.uk
