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

I’m not sure who loves this more the adults or the kids. Such a cool product that is easy to clean up. It’s great for kids that don’t like sand or playdoh textures because this isn’t sticky. Perfect amount for a small sensory bum and a great value.

I requested this for my daughter for Christmas as a slime/kinetic sand/play-doh alternative based on the idea that it was less messy. I wouldn't say it's less messy by a long shot, but it is much easier to clean up than the others since you can just vacuum it up because it's "dry". It was super fun to play with and it's fun to watch is move on its own - even I ended up sitting with them for quite a while and squishing it around. Ideal for parents who struggle to play with their kids because you can just enjoy the sensory experience yourself while engaging with the kiddos. We liked it so much that I bought two more sets to make a large sensory bin - just added some play utensils, little figures, and some micro animals. As far as cleanup, I don't have the most powerful vacuum and our carper is on the shaggier side, so it did take a few passes, but I would let my kiddos play with this over anything "wet" every time. It entertained them through an entire weekend of being snowed in, and they are still playing with it after. Definite win.

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!

I personally think this stuff is great and my 6 yr old likes it. However, my 2 yr old is afraid of it. I think because the way it expands it looks like its moving. He likes to dump it out and watch it, but refuses to touch it.

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 ordered this not quite knowing what to expect. I use it in trays in my classroom for hiding alphabet letters for matching games. The students love it! I do wish that it came in bigger quantities. Definitely worth the purchase!

It’s okay. Honestly makes just as much of a mess as playdoh, kinetic sand, etc. I have my kids plates - bowls - bins to play with it in and it still ended up everywhere. They are 9 & 6, cause it’s foam it sticks to stuff like sand. So I’d pick whatever form of things your kid likes to play with the most. You’ll be cleaning up after no matter what. It is cool, but got it for them for Christmas thinking it would be less messy - it’s not. 😂

My grandchildren ages 2 to 8 years old really enjoy playing with this. It really is a fun product. The only thing is, it makes a huge mess, I definitely recommend they play with it in a tray.

This stuff is awesome! And great deal. Containers were actually bigger then expected

You get a lot of product, its enough to fill a small bin. It is easier to clean up than kinetic sand and doesnt stick to clothes like kinetic sand. Those 2 things makes makes it worth it to spend a little extra on a sensory bin.

The material is actually satisfying to the touch. The girls had so much fun playing with it and molding it too. It smells like a rubber tire but so much fun.

I purchased this to use in my grandson's sensory bin. I've used sand before but inside the house, Kinetic sand can become quite slippery if dropped on the floor. I thought this would be a good substitute. It was great to hide things in or to use shovels or spoons. Using it to make sand castles doesn't work. The product doesn't come out of the mold unless you use something to pull it out. My grandson still had fun running his cars and trucks through it. Easy clean up if dropped on the floor. Doesn't dry out and color doesn't fade. Used 3 bottles to fill the bin enough to hide things under.

This stuff is AMAZING. My kids LOVE it and it keeps them entertained for so long. It isn’t too messy and is actually really awesome and fun to touch I like playing with it too lol it’s really cool how you can clump it together but then it falls apart like kinetic sand but it’s not sand, the colours are very vibrant too which is fun. I definitely recommend this for sensory activities and for sensory seekers. Only thing is - don’t try to sweep it up if it gets on the floor because it just sticks to the broom, I pick up as much as I can by hand then sweep or vacuum the little bit that’s left
