Educational Insights Playfoam Shape & Learn Numbers Set, Preschool Math Toy, Ages 3+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our two and four year old both love this product. The cards give them some direction of what to do with the foam. I have had poor experiences with playdough and kinetic sand. This play foam is something I would recommend time and again. It's like getting to play with rice Krispy treats without the stickiness!

My 2 year old loves the number and shapes foam set. I like that the cards are hard and durable. I also like that the foam is mess free! I wish it had some sort of storage for the foam though. Still a great, educational, activity!

This is such a fun product! My older daughter is 8, and she just ADORED playing "teacher" with some younger pre-school aged friends that we had over at our house. THEY loved playing with the playfoam (and creating all sorts of fun shapes). SHE loved feeling like she was helping them to learn something new. I loved that there was no mess to clean up afterwards. I am going to call this an all around WIN!!!

My son just started summer break after his first year of preschool and this is the perfect way to keep him fresh on his numbers. He does not enjoy just sitting and doing worksheets. He is fascinated by the texture of the playfoam and is eager to make every number. It is also a good review of colors since there are 8 different ones included. He struggles a bit with fine motor skills, so the playfoam allows him to very neatly write the numbers and increases his confidence in properly forming each number's shape.

We have been using this in a few different ways. Our little girl has been working on numbers, shapes, colors, and enjoying sensory play all without realizing she is learning! The only con we have found is that the Playfoam seems to attract dog fur and will leave foam balls around on the carpet. Simple solution though is to keep play to the tile floor or kitchen table.

I loved that the playfoam is hands on, educational, and mess free. I keep thinking of getting of playdo but then don't because of the mess, this is a GREAT alternative. My 3 year old was all about the spaces and numbers. I do agree with another review about a storage container, that would be great!
