Educational Insights Playfoam Cupcake Cafe Set, Gift for Boys & Girls, Ages 3+...

My daughter is close to 3yrs old, and really enjoys playing with play foam. And this cupcake set it is a fun way to play. She hasn't really followed the example cards, but plays in her own way with all of her stuff animals. This is a total hit.

Bought this as a gift for an almost four year old. It kept her busy!

My daughter love this Playfoam, and I love it too because it's so much less messy than clay or play doh. It doesn't crumble, get hard, and stick to things and it doesn't leave residue behind. It does however, dry up a little if you leave it out in the air so we store it in a plastic bag after use. The cupcake set is adorable and comes with 5 different colors, hours of entertainment and the perfect birthday gift for any girl or boy.

I have used this in my daughter's preschool classroom as a sensory activity for her and her classmates. They all really like this - it's similar to the idea of playdoh, but is a foam and makes sound instead. It comes with different plastic cupcake liners and cards to make different cupcakes. It's good for color matching and recreating the picture. They really enjoy squeezing this and molding it into shapes more than making the cupcakes with it. It's a fun toy, a bit pricey for what it is. You do get 5 different colors, which is nice. The quality is decent for the price point.

My two grandsons (ages 4 and 2) LOVED this play foam set! It kept them engaged for well over an hour and there were actual tears when it was time to put it away. They loved making cupcakes and other shapes and letters. When asked their Pros and Cons (because Nonni is a vine reviewer so we know the lingo): We love this stuff its so fun, it's soft and the candles and flags are great! (yes the little candles and flags were a huge hit!) When asked about cons I got NOTHING is bad we like everything! Since my husband was the one who actually got to do play time with this I asked him were there any cons to this that you saw? NO THEY LOVED IT! Not one thing was a negative. Way easier to clean up than play dough! (this coming from the man that has NEVER cleaned up any thing much less play dough, but I have to agree the clean up was extremely easier than playdough) We played cupcake shop, orders were being called in left and right. I guess I am going to get more as our cupcake shop is busy! I did put the foam in ziplocks to keep them from drying out. I can't comment on how long before or when or if it will dry out. Haven't had it long enough yet but hoping the ziplock keeps it from doing so.
