Educational InsightsPluffle® 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+

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!

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.

This stuff is amazing and so much fun. My toddler loves it! Put it in a small bin with some plastic dinosaurs and he played for an hour! It can get a little messy but I just swept it up and put it back in the bin. Lots of fun colors in this set and we mixed three together to fill the bin. I too love playing with it!

The media could not be loaded. This is a fun sensory toy. It doesn’t really have a smell and it cleans up really easy with a vacuum. It doesn’t stick in carpet it to clothing. My 3 year old loves playing in it, I enjoy the feeling too. It doesn’t leave your hands a little glittery and I’d actually prefer it without the glitter but it doesn’t stop us from using it. It’s nice that it never dries out like playdoh and is less messy than kinetic sand.

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

My kids loved it. They was entertained for hours and still get it out to play frequently.

The media could not be loaded. So much fun!! Does not dry out. Easy to clean as you can vacuum it up. Not sticky on your hands. Very soft. No weird smell either. You don’t need to store them in the containers. A plastic baggie works or I just keep mine inside a bin for a play table.

Cute idea and fun toy but... WHY DOES IT HAVE GLITTER!? I wanted something easy to clean but the glitter just sticks to my kids hands and gets everywhere.
